lanny Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I have a bone spur and possible torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. We've tried steroid shots, ultra-sound, heat treatment, etc. but they only provide temporary relief, at best. The ultimate solution, an operation, is not possible at this time. So, I thought I might try acupuncture for pain relief. My doctors are not enthusiastic but did concede that it might help. The problem is, I don't know where to go. I've tried searching this forum but found nothing recent. Anyone have any experience? Any recommendations? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm very positive about acupuncture; it has helped me quite a few times in my life. If I would need acupuncture I would definitely go to China Town in Bangkok and ask around; the best ones are small shops who treat local Chinese-Thai. Maybe you know someone who knows that area well and maybe can help you with translation ? LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks have had success with eliminating heal spur pain: 'graston techique', SCENAR, magnetic pulsing, acupuncture, vita B12 injection and oral Magnesium rotator cuff: search for a chiropractor that does extremity adjustments, also the above recommendations these recommendations are akin to allopathic medicine as they do not address the cause of dis-ease the causes are usually diet, toxic load that has taken years to build up do to alleviate the dis-ease : cleanse (detox), nutrition (raw/living foods) and exercise yours in health Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
