A member asked:
Will accupunction be safe on my hand if i have limited mobility & feeling from a laceration that is now caused from scare tissue?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Safe: Yes, i think acupuncture would be safe, but i don't suspect that it will be of significant benefit. Occupational therapy or open tenolysis is most likely what is needed.

See hand surgeon: It is likely that your injury will best be served by seeing an hand therapist for range of motion exercises and scar therapy management prior to undergoing accupuncture.
