Hey Ya'll,

back in the day.
(That being when nobody knew what RSD was),

I did Biofeedback, which, I thought was great.
as far as Massage, No Way! A "Hearty" massage would light all my nerve endings, and start the "Burn".

Until I met one who did what's called the "Alexander Technique" of massage.
It involves gentle stretching, just "pushing, gently (energy, I suppose) away from the spine, all the way out, through your scalp, your arms and fingers, legs and toes.
Incredible!
Alexander Technique massage..

As far as AccuPuncture...
I've did that maybe once or twice, (It's been a long time for me),
but,
then found someone who did "Laser" accupuncter.
With some sort of laser gun, was worked on "trigger points" just like the needles would be.
It was "Good". I'd be there daily, if I had no meds.
Did this before I even got my Dx, which took 7+ years.

Gentle Chiropractic, by a practitioner (preferably young), because they know they can't cure the common cold, know how to be gentle, I do like to feel the "clicks".
This is still my all time favorite form of "Hands On" pain relief for me.

After more than 30 years, (yep, even before I got injured), was my favorite form of pain relief. I had headaches...

Pete
