Case Story: Shoulder Inflammation

Two years! For two years he hadn’t been able to raise his arm above his head

because of shoulder pain. A young guy.
I love cases like this! It’s a great challenge for me.
That long?, I asked
“Yes, I went to the best orthopedists — they sent me for surgery
I did acupuncture at one of the health funds — it didn’t help, and it hurt
and someone I know recommended you.
What do I have to lose? Worst case, shoulder surgery.”

One (Ruach) needle and ten minutes of Tuina to the shoulder, pressing on certain points — local ones and ones far from the site of the pain — and I told him, well! Try it now!

“Wow!! I haven’t been able to make that movement for two years!”

How wonderful! What a satisfaction.
