Re: Acupuncture Treatment

[Guest guest]

I'm getting ready to try Acupunture for various reasons. 1) My menstral

cycles r rather painful and heavy at times. 2) Help my contractures and

temperater

regulation problems. 3) Get some chinese herbs for better imunity. I'm

trying Roughing right now, so far I've only had one 2 hr session. We'll see how

all this alternative therapy goes!

Sincerely,

s, the Unique Princess.

I have used acupunture on and off over the last 14 years. The needles helped

some, but the herbs have been most effective.

I use it for building energy and stamina and preventing colds (I take Gan Mao

Ling when I get early symptoms). Only 2 respriatory infections requiring

hospitalization in 10+ years.

Acupuncture does not help me with pain or if I'm already sick.

I've previously tried acupuncture for my pains and discomfort,

especially in the joints and for my back (since the spinal fusion

I've had chronic pain). I benefitted from the acunpuncture more than

any other treatment I've ever tried. My pains were gone after the

first session and after then I only went back once every 2 months -

or when I would push myself physically and hurt myself, such as

sleeping on a hard surface like the floor at parties with friends,

extensive physical exercise, etc. I wish I could continue it, but my

insurance doesn't cover it at all and I haven't the money to afford a

session at $150/hour! I ended up having full body treatments by the

third session and had needles from my head to my ears to my arms and

stomach and legs and toes. It did help me with circulation, as my

lower extremities have poor circulation from sitting constantly and

are forever cold and often times numb.

I wish you and your daughter lots of luck!!

I used acupuncture and Homeopatic medicine to strengthen my immunity

and it is always hard to prove but I have not been sick for many years. I

can't even remember ever been sick.

So I think it really helped.

What SMA Type 2 board are you referring to? Could I have a e-mail address?

With regard to your question, my (type 2 also) who will be 6 years old

in Oct started acupuncture treatment when he was about 14 months old. He has

more than just 1 needle though - more like a grand total of about 30!

Anyway, we saw results after 2 months of starting and so we have persisted until

now. The major improvements that we have seen is better neck and trunk control

(e.g. he can now put his head down and bring it back up) and much more strength

in his legs (e.g. he can lift his right leg up off the bed to his chest when

lying on his back - the left leg he cheats by using his hand to pull it up)

He doesn't take Chinese medicine on a regular basis, but the physician will

prescribe some on first sign of the sniffles or cough - we found that it helps

him clear up much quicker.

I was very much a Western medicine person until 's condition drove us to

seek alternatives. I believe that in certain areas, traditional chinese medicine

does have high efficacy.

Hi a,

Can you describe your acupuncture treatment to me? Does it actually reduce

inflammation or only pain?

Re: Should I Take Medication?

Hi

it is done by simply lying on a table for about 20 minutes after the

accupunturist has put very fine needles in certain areas of the body which are

designed to stop pain and inflammation. I had to be convinced to go as I can be

a little needle-phobic.
