Tried it, did not mind it.
Helped on some things and did not help on others. I however did not go into it thinking it was a fix all or anything even close.

Worked well for some back spasms at the time along with frequent migraines.

Found it awesome for pain management.

The needles extended my football career back in the day by at least 3 years.

Have you gone to a chiropractor?

What kind of pain is it? Is it muscle pain? Nerve pinching?

If it's muscle pain or pinching muscle or even just "left-over pain" that your body/brain hasn't "let go of yet" then a chiropractor will help 're-train' your muscles and brain to relax.

Acupuncture will only temporarily help nerves if there is a physical issue in the way, such as tightened muscles.

Acupuncture works, but you have to 'believe'.

Look into some physical therapy sessions. those guys know what they are doing.

No not at all. You do not feel the needles going in or coming out. Only time you feel them is when they tweak em or use electricty and so forth and even then it does not "hurt" it just feels different.

I really do not think you need to believe. Hell nobody is going to say that just believing in something cant make something work as it does all the time. Acupuncture works well on those that also do not believe it has special properties or anything Ki or psychic related around it.

In my case it to had a success and failure rate like all procedures do. I see a variety of specialists for my back for instance. I have a general MD, a orthopedic MDs, chiropractors, massage therapists, and an acupuncture person. Oh I also have a neurologist as well that I nearly forgot about that all on occasion deal with just my back issues. I really do not think I would need to believe in any of them to get some results.

Now if I wanted someone lay hands on me, or dip me in special waters I think I then better believe or I would not even stand a chance of having a placebo effect.

i didn try but i would like to.

If the muscle itself is injured i think it works very well, however when i had a damaged tendon in my shoulder it was not effective at all. That was my experience from about 20 sessions.

I did it on my knee back when I really hurt it. I don't think it did anything really. Got it done at physical therapy, went home, and it still hurt just as bad. I think it's one of those kinds of things where it's in your head. If you believe it will work, it might feel that way.
