Does anyone have any experience with acupuncture? Does it hurt? Does it work? How much?? ( My insurance doesn't cover it)

I have a herniated disk at c7. I have been doing chiropractic care for years and years..and just last week the f*cker that I've been going to for over a year now pissed me so now I'm looking for other ways of preventing my neck from going out along with my adjustments.

I would fire his ass but it'd be such a pain in the neck :) to find a new one

There for a while I was getting it every 6 weeks. (To control my back pain.) Now I do it when I lose control of my hand. I also take Bayer Back & Body every night. (Not as good as acupuncture though)

Honestly, at most you feel a tiny prick when they come out. Not even like a needle to get a shot. (I hate needles. I would have made a terrible junkie!) The pins are so thin you really don't feel a thing.

There are times when the nerves in my back will screw up my grip in my right hand. I can close, but not very firmly. (Thank goodness I'm left handed. I'll pick something up with my right hand, and almost immediately drop it.) I go see this chiropractor in the University area. (I'll PM her name to you if you want) She places pins in my back, arms, legs, even my ear lobes. (Helps with weight loss.) She leaves them in about about 20 minutes. It's so relaxing, I fall dead asleep!

Then she comes back removes them, (that's the only time you really feel anything.) then cracks my back. For the next 2 weeks, I sleep great, my hand strength comes back. I'm free of pain, and I'm not so cranky! :)

The only down side is that she is always pushing all these herbals, and will tell you to drink plenty of Chi Tea. Also, she has pretty much given up on my, but she will talk about your Che/Chi. (Something to do with your life force.)

I highly recommend acupuncture!

That shouldn't be an issue, they're yours. Should just be able to call and request they be released to you or sent to another facility. They may have to sign something, bit that SHOULD be the extent of it.

oh really? I didn't know that..I just assumed that they were his. Maybe the new place can call for me and request them...I found a chiro that does acupuncture too right by my house..I'm just waiting on an email back to see how much a session of it is going to run me.
