2. I can also now raise my arms overhead completely extended.
3. I've even been able to do small amounts of resistance exercises.

For me, these are new developments. Haven't been able to say any of these statements, much less ALL of them in 3 years. I am be nature a skeptic and I am by no means a New Age - Organic type of person.
That's why it surprises me to tell you I am fairly certain acupuncture is working for me and furthermore, I encourage you to try it.

I am still working with my practitioner towards alleviating my neck-specific issues (TOS). We started a new treatment approach today. I will update as the results come it

The place I go is a community acupuncture clinic.


Although I'm in Northern California, there are community acupuncture clinics across the country. Please see this site to find a clinic near you http://www.communityacupuncturenetwork.org/clinics.

This is a great video that shows the community acupuncture experience. It explains so much!!
