Has anyone had acupuncture?

Question

I'm thinking of having acupuncture for my tennis elbow. Has anyone had acupuncture and

1. Does it hurt?

2. Did it work?

Thanks

Answer 1

I've had it done for my back. It doesn't hurt at all. I was scared at first but it was ok.Whether or not it worked I really couldn't say b/c  I was getting massages and therapy from my Chiropractor. You should try it.

Answer 2

It kinda stings it doesn't hurt and it can work for some things but not becuase of the reasons they say. It is mostly a waste of money IMO.

Answer 3

It does not hurt at all. I been seeing an acupuncturist for the last 4 1/2 months. I had a lot of back pain and a lot of stress. I feel great now and I would continue doing therapy.

Make sure you do research on the acupucnturist you decide to visit.

Answer 4

Chinese use to have it. As I am a Chinese, if I am sick I will have it. For most of the time it help in a different way other than taking medications. The acupuncture practitioner now do provide some oral medication to you after you have the acupuncture. In order to see a better result in this treatment, you have to follow every step the acupuncture practitioner listed to you.

To answer your question:

1.  Yes, it hurt. But is not very.

2.  It work on me.

Answer 5

It does prick, but not like a shot. It has worked well for me in the past for all types of conditions. Definitely use a licensed acupuncturist rather than a chiropractor for acupuncture (chiros only need a few weekends training to stick needles, acupuncturists have 4 years of post graduate studies in Chinese medicine).

1. It is a prick, not to bad though

2. No, not for me. That doesn't mean that it won't work for you.
