Accupuncture

My suggestion is to speak with a Dr. of Accupuncture...preferably one who has a background of dealing with Sports and Musician and Repetitive Motion Injuries. A licensed Dr. of Accupuncture can usually take insurance. A good book to start with is:

>I've done Alexander technique, but I'm not an instrumentalist so I'm not sure how useful my experience would be. I found it enormously helpful in several ways (not the least of them being that it brought my height from 5-7-1/4 to 5-8). I'm considering acupuncture for my neck, hand and arm pain, all of which is computer related. I'd like to hear more, although this is rather OT, isn't it.
