The guy on the link I posted above to Fresh Air had an old, chronic shoulder pain problem and he was looking for the best relief he could find as part of his odyssey. He said that Indian Ayurvedic treatments actually gave him the best relief he'd found. He had been offered the new titanium shoulder option and rejected it owing to risk. About 2% of joint transplants go bad, resulting in serious downsides up to and including death.
He said part of his treatment in India involved massage by about 8 people at once.
