Has anyone ever tried acupuncture?

Question

Did it work? Not work? Temporary solution?

Answer 1

hey,

acupuncture is an incredible way to relieve stress whether it be mental or physical stress. It may seem like it hurts but you dont even feel the needles since they are really small. You have to go to a reputable place as to make sure that they have clean needles ( usually they will give them to you to throw out so you dont have to worry about HIV transmission).

I think you have to do a couple of treatment sessions only to completely get rid of the pain but i can tell you that it makes a huge difference.

Good luck!

best answer?

Answer 2

I have had acupuncture many times in  USA and in Asia.

It is very effective, often yielding immediate results.  

I have used it for stiff/crick in the neck, immunity, weight loss, energy and female problems.  Sometimes you need several visits to make a huge impact on an area, but this treatment is tried and true for more than 2000 years in many areas of the world.  Do you know many places they use acupuncture instead of general anesthesia for MAJOR surgery?  It works! Enjoy and good luck.

Answer 3

I did, it was a tool to support me in my weightloss. It's hard to say whether it helped or not. I think things like accupuncture are very subtle and personal.

Some alternative medicins work for one person and don't for the other. It's for you to find out :).

Answer 4

Acupuncture is a popular complementary and alternative medicine used to treat chronic low-back pain and osteoarthritis of the knee. It is effective and many a times, it works better than other treatments.  Even in treating depression, it is used. However, acupuncture was there from ages it is recently being used for treating people for weight loss… anyways the process is not scientifically proven, so it’s uncertain to predict its effectiveness!!! If are lucky it might work for you. So all the best and give a chance to it…
