Acupuncture

[Ash47]

Has anyone ever had it done? My mom had a wreck a a few weeks ago and her doctor suggested it for an injury on her hand. What should she expect?

I've heard great things about it. Is she just having bad pain or bad circualtion? I want my bf to go but he refuses. they do it at the chiropractic place I take my little brothers frined to soemtimes,they wanted to do it to him but he was also to scared. its not supposed to hurt but I haven't had it done.

It's for pain. She has nerve damage and ripped tendons.

Ouch! Hope it helps her. She should definately try it.

There isn't a practictioner here, but if there were, that's what I would do - and I'd have Charley in there about that knee.

Think about it this way - how long have the Chinese been practicing acupuncture? And, something you can't say about western medicine - no tragic side effects!

I have had acupuncture done several times. If it is done properly you don't feel anything. It did get rid of the pain.

I have never tried tried it but have had it reccomended to me by doctors. I just have this deadly fear of needles.

A good friend of mine has that "thing" about needles too, Pits. She's now married to a retired medical examiner who now practices alternative medicine and accupuncture - and also teaches it at the University of Michigan's med school

She says it's nothing at all like having a shot and has found that regular treatments do her a world of good, and not just for physical problems.
