I have had a fairly significant pain below my rib cage in my back in the past. I thought maybe it was lung related, but happened to mention it to my acupuncturist in case she could possibly do anything to help relieve the ache. She did something called myofascial release and said I would probably never be bothered by that pain again. The pain was alleviated and I have had no problem since. She studied under John Barnes who is well known in this field http://myofascialrelease.com
I am astonished at how much help my acupuncturist has been. I am really fortunate to have found a good one. She had my sinus infection cleared up in a matter of hours. I had suffered for a couple of months, had been to 2 doctors and had taken 2 antibiotics before I found her. Of course my insurance does not cover acupuncture, but it did cover those useless antibiotics.
Here's her website http://mariamandarino.com/ It's very interesting and could possibly help anyone who is considering acupuncture find someone in their own community that has similar knowledge.
