Can getting a tattoo be therapeutic for joint problems?

March 102010

My husband got an armband tattoo on upper arm. He had been having shoulder problems, which could have been arthritis or bursitis at the time. He’d been taking different meds with no improvement of the symptoms…until he got the tattoo. Within days the shoulder got better and hasn’t bothered him since. Coincidence or was there something related to the tattoo… I am thinking about the similarities of acupuncture and bee sting therapy I’ve seen on tv. What do you think?

could have been an inadvertant stimulation of a meridian (used in acupunture treatment), if so it will likely come back so you know that his best method of treatment if that occurs would be…. acupunture or chiropractic
