Electroacupuncture Vs Physiotherapy

Over a decade ago, researchers at the Unit of Physical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Alexandria, Alexandria EGYPT looked into the effects of acupuncture on tendon myositis. Twenty-five patients with typical tension myositis of the neck, upper back, and shoulder were treated by either electroacupuncture (for up to a period of three weeks) or physiotherapy (for up to six weeks). Fourteen patients (93.3%) recovered completely following electroacupuncture treatment, while ten patients (90.9%) recovered completely in response to conventional physiotherapy treatment.

The researchers concluded that both forms of treatment were of value and worth consideration for patients suffering from tendon myositis.
