Re: Acupuncture- and for what?

Love it, I had terrible back pain and accupunture was the treatment that eliminated it. I had visited the chiropracter for 2 years and was taking 10 advil per day. Six visits with my Chinese doctor and I was cured.

Another doctor used it to take away the terrible pain from an infection at my drain site after my node dissection. Amazing, within an hour the pain was gone.

My regular accupunturist treated all us cancer patients weekly. I felt so much better with the treatments.
