In my opinion u need to go for a new technique known as dry needling... this technique is very effective and have instant relief in muscular pain... a sterile needle will be used intramuscularly and it will be stimulated by doing a to and fro movement so that the contracted muscle get relaxed...after the technique is done cold fermentation is required to over come slight needle pricking pain..in this dere will be no blood loss will take place..get well soon take care
Next Steps
Find a physiotherapist who performs this technique
Health Tips
Cold fermentation is a must after the technique
U will be having 3 to 5 sittings of this technique and u will be fine...
