Will Acupuncture help heal a torn calf muscle ?

Question

Will Acupuncture help heal a torn calf muscle ?

Answer 1

Acupuncture has no healing abilities.

It might produce a placebo effect which will reduce pain.

I am not sure of how well a calf muscle heals if torn, but if it doesn't naturally heal itself (with out acupuncture), you're screwed.

My suggestion = see a real doctor.

Answer 2

Just might because it will help relax the muscle so that it would stitch together
