with his acupuncture needles? Has anyone tried this alternative medicine?

While I don't have any experience with acupuncture, I would advise you to first check the persons' credentials. there are some sham artists out there. At least if they have been certified by some type of board, if you have a problem, there is someone with whom you may lodge a complaint .

That is for you to answer ultimately.
Acupuncture is.
It will become increasingly viable as the years ensue. If you would dare take a pharmaceutical prescription as designed here in the USA or Europe, you can assuredly rest with an equally if not more viable form of medical treatment, see?
As often is the case, all things evidence the want to take precaution of course... Certainly is this the case on taking a prescription or using a modality of any kind.

Feels very cool, and can be profoundly relaxing. Useful to get credentials though. Where I am from it is quite tightly regulated(Aus), not sure if this is the case in some other places though. Obviously make sure they use disposible needles-I think you would find this pretty much case everywhere though. I generally felt no pain at all, occasionally you might feel some mild discomfort depending on the area.

By all means do the acupuncture, I 've been doing it for 3 months, after being hooked on pain medicines for fibromyalgia. You will feel so-o-o-o much better, after a few visits your meridians are flowing and everything stars to feel better.

Yes, as long as he is properly trained and insured. Ask yourself - Have you ever seen a chinese person crippled with arthritis? We have a lot of learn/gain from eastern medicine. Its the western ways that make us ill in the first place.

I'm very much for it but I'd do a little research on the subject if I were you before making up my mind.
Here are a few links. And do check out this practitioner's credentials before committing.
Good poking!

I only tried it the once, it was very strange, but it didn't give any amazing effects. I appreciate how eastern medicine is different, but I'd rather stick to modern medicine any day.

it definately works. if you dont like needles you should go to a massage therapist and ask for them to do an acupressure session with you basically the same thing but using finger pressure

YES,YES,YES.
I HAVE ACUPUNCTURE FOR MY BACK, AND I CAN NOT PRAISE ENOUGH HOW GREAT IT IS.
THE FIRST TIME YOU MAY FULL ASLEEP AS IT IS SO RELAXING. YOU WILL REALLY NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE.
I SO LOOK FORWARD TO MY SESSIONS.
PLEASE GIVE IT AGO, AND I BET YOU WILL NOT LOOK BACK. IF YOU FEEL A BIT WORRIED,THAT THEM KNOW AT YOUR SESSION,AND THEY WILL REALLY MAKE YOU FEEL AT EASE.
NOW DON'T FORGET GO, HONESTLY YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY IT.
