I have been seeing a new acupuncturist recently for some elbow pain without much sucess. This seems to be the norm for anything I show up with from martial arts. Other things, stress, energy blocks, fixing my qi gong screw ups, cold flue, muscle pain, and most anything that is not trauma acupuncture has been very good for me. For strains, sprains, bruises, fractures, over use injuries, and other injuries arising from combat leaves my back account thinner and that's about all. I have a theory that structural damage is better treated with herbs and NSAID, but several acupuncturists say it is just as effective to use acupuncture.

I know nothing about acupuncture, so I was hoping someone here could help me understand this. Is there something about trauma which acupuncture is not good at healing or perhaps I need a specialist.

Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion....
We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs,
from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything....
The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light.
This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.

-Sage Vasishtha
