Default my acupuncture experience

I know there have been a few other threads that have recommended acupuncture for treatment, but I just want for my 1st session and was amazed at the improvement I experienced. It's almost been a year since my auto accident and figured why not give it a shot, nothing else was working.

I was quite skeptical as the Dr. was explaining the whole qi thing and blockage caused by my accident so the blood isn't circulating properly. He put a bunch of needles in me(not painful at all) and used heat lamps for my feet and stomach. I came in the appointment with a really bad headache and by the end it was almost gone. He said after a few more sessions he can start to do cupping therapy once the blockage is relieved.

I felt like my tension had eased a bit after the session but I wasn't sure if it would just be a short term thing. I woke up this morning and my head felt much clearer than normal. Usually I wake up in a haze but this almost reminded me of how I used to feel before the accident. This sensation lasted for the whole day and was truly an amazing feeling.

There are so many different therapies to try for PCS, but I would highly recommend you at least try acupuncture. It's not as expensive as doing some of the other therapies and there may just be something to acupuncture that does get the blood circulating again thus refreshing the brain.

Here is a link talking about acupuncture for TBI patients.
