AndreaG's review of Acupuncture

“I decided to try acupuncture as I had heard that it...”

★★★☆☆

written by AndreaG on 28/02/2007

Good Points
This is an odd one as although it didn't work for me that doesn't mean that it won't work for someone else, which is why I am still recommending.

Bad Points
Didn't work for me, caused me more pain.

General Comments
I decided to try acupuncture as I had heard that it can help with the pain of rheumatism and arthritis and at the time I didn't have an exact diagnosis and wasn't receiving much in the way of medical assistance.

I found the treatment painful as when the needles were inserted they caused the muscles to go into a spasm, it took about a week for the pain to subside and I cannot say that I think that it reduced my normal symptoms.

I am sure that acupuncture does work for a lot of people, I think that I was just unfortunate.

Hi Andrea, did you have a course of treatment. Usually the needles don't hurt but I find if you go to a Chinese Therapist they do their best to make it hurt on a 'no pain , no gain basis'. It is called gaining 'Deqi'
Some people don't respond to Acupuncture, it is not a cure all but I do feel it may have been worth trying someone else.
Sometimes the NHS provides Acupuncture from a Physiotherapist but many of them only do a few weekends training in Acupuncture where as a professional Acupuncturist has usually trained for 3 or 4 years.
My Partner had severe Osteo-Arthritis in her neck and was told she would be in a wheelchair by 40. She had Acupuncture, is now 55 and works in a Garden Centre! It did take two years of treatments but at the end she was going once a month. So I am a bit biased I must admit!

Well it makes me feel a bit better in a way knowing that it isn't just me that it didn't work for. Thanks for your comment.
