Is acupuncture a treatment for you?

Acupuncture is originated from China, but it is popular all over the world. However the effectiveness of acupuncture is still in debate. There was an article that described different persons acupuncture experiences with different conditions from different practitioners, lady 53 with a prolapsed disc had 6 months acupuncture and avoided a surgery and got back to her normal life again.

This is a typical case who benefits from acupuncture treatment. A person said “I have no knowledge of any parallel universe, so I can’t compare what my life without acupuncture would be like to see exactly how much it has helped, but my feeling is that it does help me, so I won’t stop. Equally, I recognise that it is good to meet a qualified doctor on a regular basis for a one-to-one session lasting 45 minutes.”

A 46 year old described that acupuncture worked every time when he had back pain. Acupuncture is magic for some but torture for others. A 48 year old did think acupuncture helped his back pain.

Acupuncture can be beneficial for emotional wellbeing. Many agreed with this. For example, A 59 year old with terrible chest pains on some family stressful event. After he was told there was nothing wrong by the doctors and pain killers didn’t work, he tried seven session acupuncture and he felt better. He believed that the acupuncture sessions unblocked the emotional energy.

Not all types of acupuncture treatment are the same. That is very true.
