What is your first impression of acupuncture? |
What is your first impression of acupuncture? Hi - I am an MD, teaching at a medical school, and my husband is an acupuncturist. I am allergic to many painkillers, and while having a some really painful dental work done, went to an acupuncturist,( who became my husband several years later!) Acupuncture worked like a charm for me. Each session began with me lying on my back on an exam table resting, while the acupuncturist inserted 12 - 15 tiny needles into the top of my head, my arms and legs, hands and feet and my chest. The needles are very thin - about the width of a hair, and about 3 inches long. You feel something like a mild static electricity kind of shock then the needles are inserted, then they are completely comfortable as long as you lie still. I think acupucture is very interesting. I dont really understand it, however I would like to know more about it. I wanna try it though. I hear it works. Its weird. |
