If you have inflammation and stiffness in a specific muscle group(s), take a look at dry needling. It is similar to acupuncture in that the same needles are used but the similarity ends there.

Dry needling involves putting a micro-thin, sterile, one-use needle into a muscle to get a twitch response and relieve tightness. Results get better with continued sessions. I do this twice a month.
