On The Advice Of Stig...

[MasterBlaster]

I have an appointment with an acupuncturist next Wednesday. The consult is free, and the treatments are $65 apiece and he thinks it will require 2 or 3 visits.

I'll be danged. :what:

 

[Old Monkey]

I've done it once for hand tremors.

 

[Dave Shepard]

And? Did it work?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I've done it once for hand tremors.

Ha, mine is for my foot.

 

[jomoco]

Ha, mine is for my foot.

So when they stick them needles in yu, do they run a little lectricity through them and into you to stimulate nerves and muscles n stuff?

jomoco

I didn't keep at it enough to find out if it works. I mainly went at the behest of my wife who worries about my trembling hands.

FWIW, My massage therapist occassionally uses an electro-acu'puncture' (it is actually non invasive) gizmo on knotted muscles. Feels weird but it does bring a continuously spasming muscle into a relaxed condition in a couple of minutes so there is SOMETHING to all this stuff.

 

[High Scale]

I have had the treatment, it works.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I hope so. I wanna kill the electric worms that constantly crawl under my skin.

Jon, I don't know - I've never been. I don't think so.

 

[vharrison]

Interesting, I hope it works. Let us know.

 

[Mrs.B]

Keep us posted, MB. Thats something Jer should think about trying. We'll be anxious to hear how you do with it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Heck yea I will!

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Have fun with that! I could see where it'd be almost relaxing, kinda like a masssage.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, he'd better not do that to my aching piggies!

 

[Che]

Good luck. Bring your camera.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Good luck with that. I think its kinda like chiropractors; some are excellent, most are quacks just trying to get rich. The trick is to find one of the good ones.

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Go for it Chief, you can but try. I had nerve damage pain in my foot after herniating discs and acupuncture did seem to work.

 

[darkstar]

It hurts alittle bit sometimes.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

It probably won't hurt more than getting tattooed....

I wonder what kind of schooling it takes to learn acupuncture ? Might be fun to know how to do it.
Evan-my-boy got gift certificates for Christmas for acupressure sessions, but we've yet to get him to the mall to do it. Me-no-likey-malls.

Well THAT right there should tell you something... REAL doctors don't set up shop in the mall. :roll:

 

[SkwerI]

The MALL? For real?

 

[Al Smith]

Some "real " doctors do in fact practice acupuncture .

 

[Mr. Sir]

Some "real" doctors pray with their patients too. What's your point?
