acupuncture

I've had tendonitus in my elbows for years, sometimes it's worse than others but never really goes away. A friend was talking about using accupuncture to alleviate some shoulder pain so I was thinking this may work with my elbows. I'll be looking into it locally. Anyone here ever try it?

I get acupunture done about 4 times a year....just for preventative measures and to keep my meridians clear.
Acupuncture is great for pain management in many cases.
--I submitted an article to presser concerning acupuncture for the Ezine...lots of info in it. Maybe he can send it to you if you ask him. if he doesn't have it I do have the article saved in my regular email acct and can send it to ya if you pm me your reg email.

Bump. I'm also interested in trying this.

KR,

Yep. It works pretty damn well.

When I saw this title I was impressed. I have been thinking the same thing for quite some time. I'd love to give it a shot. Seems interesting.

Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorfins and enkephalins-our natural pain killers. It also influences neurotransmitters and neuromodulators that alter the perception of pain.

many people think acupuncture works on the nervous system...it doesn't. it works on our meridians. The needles used are as fine as hair and you can't even feel them really-even in boney areas such as the skull (my acupuncturist usually puts one right in the crown of my head!!).
Your insurance may even pay for it as I have seen advertisements for Blue Cross Blue Shield saying so.
A typical session lasts 30-45 minutes. If you use any herbs at all an acupuncturist is usually a great source-they usually have the raw herb or root. And something else too-in April when ephedra is pulled from the shelf you may be able to get Ma Haung (contains ephedra) from your acupuncturist as they are lobbying for clinical uses of Ma Haung (they use it in bronchial disorders I believe).

good info
