A member asked:
After getting acupuncture or a massage will the muscle still feel sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acupuncture response: Although area treated during acupuncture usually feels improved, it is not at all uncommon to have an increase in pain. This is a postive sign. However, if you have several sessions of acupuncture with no pain and/ or no improvement - the condition beging treated is not responding to the technique being used.
