I read several e-mails hear about repairing Labrum tears in shoulders. I have a labrum tear and am considering acupuncture instead of orthroscopic surgery. Has anyone heard whether or not acupuncture can repair a labrum tear?
Thank you,

The short answer is no, it can't.
Acupuncture may help with pain relief, but should not improve the defective labrum. Since pain relief and not alteration in shoulder function is usually the issue, acupuncture is worth a try, though.
