See your doctor : You have a specific diagnosis, so the doc who gave you that and sent you to pt needs to now re-evaluate. Accupunture will not speed the healing of your connective tissue. If rest and pt aren't helping, then maybe surgery is indicated. But be patient, and follow your doctor's advice.

Option: First & foremost- your physician will be able to explain options for your treatment. Medical acupuncture is provided by western trained physicians with secondary training in acupuncture. Acupuncture may be very beneficial in reducing pain & expediting healing in acute injuries. It can also help with range of motion. It reduces obstructions in blood & lymph flow, nerve function & chi balance.
