I have a tight shoulder on one side and had acupuncture this past week and a massage.
Are the benefits cumulative in terms of you need several visits to help with problematic muscular areas.
Actually, that muscle felt tense after having the treatments.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
It depends on the number of muscles and connective tissues involved and the knowledge, skill and effectiveness of the massage therapist. As a follow up, you could try contrast therapy alternating ice and heat at the pain site. And/or you could try a different therapist.

I’m sorry to inform you that acupuncture won’t do anything physical for your problem. It has no plausible mechanism of action and decades of research show it to be completely consistent with placebo. Its quackery.
