I have had acupuncture for Migraines. I think the first time I was so nervous I GOT a migraine! Then after that I could fall asleep with the needles in me.

People would ask me "what if it's all in your head" and I'd say I don't care! If it produces less migraines AND insurance pays for it, I am there!

I have received benefits from chiropractic (very much so!) and acupuncture.

I'm not sure if acupuncture really works in the manner that the practitioners claim, but I find it to be such a relaxing experience that I think it might work in more of an indirect way for me.

And of course--like anything--the practitioner you go to makes a big difference.

Hmm, now you've got me wanting to go back to the acupuncturist...

I think they all will work in their own special way, long enough you use it as a complimentary rather than a replacement of major procedures.

With my old insurance, yes I had to get a referral. And that was no easy task.... darn docs would rather shove drugs at you!

With my current insurance, I do not need a referral. And it works just like a chiropractor, they pay for like 20 visits a year.

I have used acupuncture and qigong for allergies, tendonitis, and to help recovery from surgery. Definitely measureable, and in many cases, superior results than were obtained using traditional western medicine.



Agreed. There's a lot that western medicine doesn't know and pills don't fix it all. This site on Alternative Medicine has a lot of info on what alternative medicine is and resources.

You should have multiple answers. I have used and seen results from chiropractic care, homeopathy, and acupuncture.



just what I wanted to say, all these three have helped me in the past.

I've heard from people I know (but never experienced myself) that they have had great results from alternative medicine... that in it's self, is the point, I think.... they felt better afterwards, than they did before.






On the other hand - I dont believe in Hyponosis and have never heard of anyone 1st hand who it's worked on.. But, it's the stranges thing, every time someone clicks their fingers I cluck like a chicken;)
