Answer 2

I think acupuncture is one of the best ways to relieve pain. I haven't had back surgery, but I get incredible upper back pain that runs up my back into my head to create massive headaches. The acupuncture was the only thing that relieved my pain until I had surgery (breast reduction, not back... for my back though).

My acupuncturist was from China and he would put the needles in my back (you don't feel it AT ALL). He would then spin them (you feel this a little but there is no pain involved) and then my back would just heat up (like aaaahhhhhh). If you touched my back though it would feel cool. I describe the sensation as though you took all of your skin off and laid in a tanning bed. Crazy good stuff.

Answer 3

I've had acupuncture and after my 1st tx I swore the man was a miracle worker. I had it done for severe back pain. I walked out of there with better posture than I've ever had in my life, feeling better already, then as the day went on, I just kept improving! It beats chiropractic hands down, but for less intense pain I prefer a good massage.

As stated, acupuncture works by placebo. you will possibly desire to get suggestion from a doctor first, yet while nevertheless no soreness alleviation then acupuncture might nicely be used as a final motel for soreness, yet do no longer anticipate any miracles. pay attention of outrageous claims consisting of those made by quacks like drkellie, i.e.: "TMJ is oftentimes with the aid of inadequate blood & fluid circulate contained in the jaw." in case you should envision the hyperlinks under, you will see that that there is not any point out of this, neither is 'blood loss' stated as a clarification for TMJ. regrettably such scammers are so poorly organised, they might't even get the basics maximum appropriate. is this incredibly the variety of man or woman you will believe your wellbeing to? additionally, pay attention that any 'herbs' don't have a synergistic poisonous consequence with any modern-day medicine you may nicely be taking.

Answer 5

For some people it really works, so it might just be worth a shot.

My understanding is that the little needs effect your body in such a way that it doesn't really hurt, but it does stimulate the release of endorphines (your body's natural pain killers). And if you do some research on endorphines you'll find if you can get enough released they are much more effective and safer than any drug form of pain killer so if it does get enough endorphones released for you, that would be good.

Answer 6
