[Effect of moxibustion of "Ganshu"(BL18) and "Shenshu" (BL23) on musculoskeletal interaction in osteoporosis rats].

Moxibustion of BL18 and BL23 can increase the BMD and bone mineral content, improve biomechanical performance, adjust bone metabolism, and mitigate bone and the attached muscle histopathological changes in OP rats, suggesting that modulating interaction between bones and muscles is probably one of the ideas in the treatment of OP.
