TCM Acupuncture HELPS!!!
Finally,
I sometimes can be slow with things....Well, I decided to try Acupuncture for my shoulder/neck pain since my last surgery it just has not gotten better. I tried trigger shots and it did nothing, and the doctor talked about x-ray guided shots in my spine which has not set well within.
Yesterday, I took the plunge and went to see Dr. Jin whom as studied TCM since he was 16 years old AND I am a believer in it!!
He felt in 12 hours I would notice a difference, and I go back Monday. Today, I noticed a difference it is not 100%, but I do noticed a difference!!!
I loved the teaching behind it all and it makes sense!! He told me I had very LOW energy and my meridian channels had several weak points. My spleen and Kidney channels had several areas of weaknesses. He said we will work on the pain in your shoulder/neck (he gave me hope), then we will work on the energy part. He said the BC came from your liver and it had been blocked or something like that for years and we can prevent several diseases and illnesses with harmony in your complete mind, body and spirit!!!
I go back on Monday!!!
