Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Actually I am dabbling with it right now....my Dr. is very good, trained in China. He told me from the start that while accupuncture works well for disc-related pain, the chances of it helping pain from nerve lesions is small. Will let you know how it goes.... --- Rick wrote: > while mono-skiing last winter, i met a lady that is > a quadriplegic due > to an auto accident 11 years ago. turns out we have > the physiologist > cause i met her again recently at the doctors > office. she told me last > night she was there for acupuncture treatments. she > has no feeling or > functions below the waist but has nerve pain in her > legs and acupuncture > 'fixes' it, in her terms. has anyone tried > acupuncture for pain? > r > > > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hey all, I see an acupuncturist when my lower back acts up. I seem to get the best results when electricity is included. It works for me. Sportolari wrote: Actually I am dabbling with it right now....my Dr. is very good, trained in China.
