Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 | I found acupuncture to be very helpful in saliva, taste, and return of blood flow to the radiated areas of my neck, because of this I am less tight and my neck is supple. It sounds silly but the stiffness and sensation loss was irritating, so this did help repair the muscle. My naturopathic dr. used the chinese method of acupuncture as well. I always say the treatment is only as good as the practitioner.
best of luck
