Has acupuncture helped you?
Hello Vittoria,
Several years ago I was involved in a head on crash that sent me to the hospital and left me with incapacitating pain in the neck and shoulders. I went to Chiropractors who helped somewhat and I was considering visiting an orthopedic surgeon when the pain was reactivated during a move from NJ to TX. The blinds' installer noticed me lying on a couch with a neck brace almost in tears because of the pain and he gave me the name of his Chinese acupuncturist in Hurst, TX, near Dallas. This man treated me for about 10 weeks. I never missed a session. I was ready to try ANYTHING to eliminate that pain.
I can say that after 8 sessions, I was already feeling so much better, I knew surgery was no longer an option.
Today, besides regular massages mostly to relax me, and an occasional rub with Voltaren or Flexall ointment, my neck and shoulder have no need for any type of medical treatment . Even though recent xrays still show 4 pinched nerve, I can say that I've completely healed from the chronic pain I lived with for many years!!!
