heres my question. anyone ever had it? im thinking of treating my dad to a session. he has really bad muscle acke, and the only few things that help him is rolfing massage, if anyone knows thats pretty intense stuff. i just wanna know if acupuncture will help him.

 

My entire family goes.
My sister:
She has lupus(It attacks her joints) and now arthritus and its helped her alot.
My dad:
Was in a really bad car accident 30+ years ago and has had a really bad back ever since. Acupuncture has helped it a bit and has helped alot with his arthritus in his hands (Carpal tunnel syndrome)
My mom:
Shoulder surgery. Helped with the pain alot.
Me:
Tendonitus.

 

now do you have to be positive toward it? thats what i got a sense of from the guy today, something about mind and finding your "chi"* my dads not the most positive person most times.

 

no needles in me please!

 

No, it helps though. I was doubting it till about 10 minutes after it was over and my wrists weren't hurting. Tell your dad to give it a shot. Its great stuff.

 

You can barely feel them and its only when they go it.

 

i feel like i'd pass out if i saw these needles in my body h:

 

The needles are really small and not much of it goes into you.

They also have something else they do.

 

yea maybe for fathers day i'll treat him to a session.

 

this is one area where acupuncture can help. Can help not will help. It depends on the practitioner.

I myself have benefitted greatly from acupuncture.

Quick story.
When I was 2, I got Polio. I wasn't able to walk anymore or move my lower body at all. For the next 6-9months I was taken to just about every modern doctor available (in korea). All of who said I will never regain movement in my lower body let alone walk again. From 3-5 I was taken to a acupuncture sessions. This guy was good, at times I had 200+ needles in my body. After 2 years I regained movement and was able to walk again.

Yeah you don't have to believe it but I'm living proof. For muscle aches/pains and such acupuncture has good results.
