Microcirculatory effects of acupuncture and hyperthermia on Achilles tendon microcirculation.

摘要

We read with great interest the recent report from Kubo et al. focusing on the effects of acupuncture (dry needling) and heating (application of hot pack) on Achilles tendon microcirculation in healthy male subjects (Kubo et al. 2010). We would like to comment on some observations and conclusions made by the authors.
