I received home visits from an acupuncturist for about 6 months, twice a week during months 5-11 of my recovery.

It did wonders for me!

From what I've read, it supposedly increases the body's natural endorphins or something like that...

It helped reduce the sever physical pain I was in. It worked better than the narcotics I was prescribed and it didn't make me tired or more fuzzy-headed the way that the drugs did.

My Dr. said I needed to be careful with alternative treatments, but she was glad it worked for me. She told me that it works for some people, but not most.
