While stretching a tight muscle may feel good, in a painful kind of way, it could be creating unwanted laxity/looseness in an adjacent joint, which can, in turn, cause further tightness. Acupuncture is effective at undoing the knots, flushing out the sore spot with oxygen and nutrients, and stimulating endorphins / pain relief chemicals in the brain.
