This Article in Acupuncture Today sheds some light on chronic shoulder issues.
Rarely does Acupuncture have difficulty reaching muscular areas. One such time would be when Subscapularis is involved in rotator cuff injuries. Due to it's location on the anterior surface of the scapulae, needling the bulk of this muscle is tricky, if not impossible. Subscapularis is not often indicated as a primary cause of shoulder stiffness or pain but usually ends up being one of the main reasons such discomfort becomes chronic.
Combining soft tissue therapy like Active Release Technique with your treatment should yield more positive results than just Acupuncture. Most massage therapists will not address this area for a number of reasons but mostly due to it's cumbersome location.
