Can acupuncture help actual injuries? >

[mr_hat]

I know some people swear by it for various ailments, but how about torn knee cartlidge, for example?

Not asking whether it would actually cure the tissue damage, but whether it is viable in treating pain.

Thanks for any insight/experience.

1. Acupuncture is pretty good for pain in general,

so I think it would probably help. I had a repetitive stress injury that it really helped with. Plus, ya know, if you try it and it doesn't work, you haven't hurt anything. :shrug:

2. acupuncture

can help to elimate restrictions in both the circulatory and nervous systems (as well as many others) which would in turn expedite the healing of torn cartilidge. Try it for sure.

3. I had a tear in shoulder ligament, acupuncture good for managing pain and

inflammation. . .once the surgeon went in, he could not believe how little inflammation their actually was. . .
