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,

IMHO
A Labrum tear in shoulder can not be healed with acupuncture. Have you ever met someone with one confirmed by an MRI, treated solely with acupuncture and have it healed and confirmed by an MRI? Acupuncture may resolve the pain (don't know this by experience just what some people have said), but it doesn't reattach/repair cartilage.
Regardless, I wish you a quick recovery.
