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,

Thank you for the quick reply.
Re. your answer, do you know this from experience? According to my doctor, the MRI revealed a tear. It may not be "shoulder alteration," but it has altered me. If I do over the head activity, it hurts. Therefore, it is not only pain, but I believe it needs to be repaired whether by orthoscoptic surgery or acupuncture or whatever...so I can resume the overhead activities.
