From AP:
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is back in China to consult with traditional medicine practitioners over his NBA season-ending foot injury.
Yao said Friday he also plans to see his fellow players on the national team and talk with coach Jonas Kazlauskas on strategy for the Beijing Olympics in August.
Yao hadn’t decided on a treatment to heal the stress fracture in his left foot, but said he would probably meet with the country’s top traditional doctors early next week. Traditional Chinese medicine can range from acupuncture to herbal teas, and is usually less invasive and slower acting than Western medicine.
