Richw, mb6606 and Vickie, Thank you so much for your
replys. I am taking them to my friend. He is in pain from
the first Acupuncture sesssion which his doctor says is
to be expected. He has his second session this afternoon.
Lots of luck to your friend. Let him know that after the first few treatments I was in great discomfort. Felt like I was run over by a pin wheel. But now it's almost nothing.
You guys have to tell me about your accupuncturists. I have never experienced pain after the treatment and only during in very agitated areas or in areas with little muscle or fat between the skin and bones. I took my son when he was seven years old and he thought it was great because his previous exposure to needles was not as pain free. One of the places this accupuncturist placed a needle was about two inches forward of the crown of his head to alleviate severe headaches. To this day, he is 20, he can reach up to that area and by pulsing the point his headache will go away. He says it is much faster than an asprin and he always trys to avoid medications.
If you can, find out where they graduated and let me know which meridians they are addressing. If the practitioner is oriental they tend not to be forthcoming with much conversation. But they will tell you if you ask. Like, ask them why those specific points are so sensitive. Many times you find out issues about your body unrelated to the purpose of your visit.
The physiotherapist I see for the IMS was trained by Chan Gunn. So most likely taught with a short clinical course to certification. Not ideal but he's helped so far. I think in my case, I had severe spasms which added to the amount of discomfort post treatment. In conjunction, I've always been very contact sensitive. I can literally feel a mosquito needle going into my skin. So the entry points in my lower back will tingle for a few minutes afterwards.
