If any of you suffer significant muscle pain, spams, tension, etc. I highly suggest looking into dry needling. I just got it done to my neck, shoulders, back, pecs today. Wish I had done it years ago. The pain and tension in my neck and shoulders already feels so much better. Find a proficient physical therapist and try it out.
Im not into that chinese stuff
Who's out it's not Chinese stuff. It's modern Western medicine. It's called trigger point release therapy. Trust me they wouldn't be pushing it on the whole special operations community if it weren't legitQuote:

is this the same as accupuncture? i always thought that would feel good.
They use acupuncture needles. They do not put them in you to refocus your energy or what ever the acupuncture Chinese medicine says. The needles are inserted into tension/ trigger point in the muscle. The muscle hyper spasms and then relaxes. Today in my real bad areas she attached electrodes at the end and made it spasm and relax even moreQuote:

Not sure how much it costs or if your insurance covers it but it's def an option for long term pain relief and actually fixing problems.Quote:

I know it said that some rotator cuff Impingements can be treated by it but I'm not sure how. Today they worked on my ever increasing neck shoulder and back tension/ pain that's been steadily getting worse to the point it's been waking me up. I've had a bunch of buddies get their low back and ITB treated recentlyQuote:

Only pain/ discomfort comes when the needle hits a real high tension area and it hyper spasms. But it's a good thing.
it sounds like there would be quick pain then some disconformt. im sure you feel like a champ after. thanks for the post bro i might seriously look into this
