"Many young people in their 20s come to me for neck and back pains which are usually connected with the elderly,"said Ma Huifang,a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,who is also a TCM doctor. "I have noticed such diseases becoming more common among a younger age group. "When faced with the choice between Western medicine and TCM,young people often prefer TCM because it does work for these diseases,according to Ma.
