A member asked:
After getting acupuncture or a massage, is the muscle suppose to feel sore still?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If your receive deep tissue massage that can leave you sore . However, there many types of massage which should help with relieveing soreness without residual pain from the treatment. Acupuncture can sometimes temporarily increase pain - when this occurs it usually resolves quickly and is part of the healing process. Most often people have significant reductions in the pain that was being treated.
