Acupuncture?

[Si modo]

Kat started a thread on chiropractors and it got me thinking about acupuncture. I understand that some chiropractors will work with acupuncturists.

Does anyone have any positive and/or negative experiences with acupuncturists for pain relief or some sort of lifestyle change (quitting smoking, stopping a tick of some sort, etc.)?

Or sciatic pain.

I have never done it, but a guy i worked with swore by it.

I stopped smoking for 8 years the first time I had acupuncture. Then for some stupid reason decided that I could have 'just one'. Wrong-o!

So four years later, I went back for another round. It will be three years on March 2nd and not a cigarette since.

Syrenn and Jillian: I have heard folks talk about it and both gave rave reviews. Both were for smoking cessation, too.

I finally want to quit. Any shopping suggestions for acupuncturists forthat?

And, Kat: For sciatica, it might be an option to consider.

my only suggestion is go to people who come highly recommended.... who don't want to book you for some months-long treatment program.

also, i don't think much of the electro-acupuncture or the ear cuff things...

After quitting for the second time, you should be able to have just one this time.

Go for it!

As long as the acupunturist is not putting the needles into your eyeball, then it probably will be okay.

When I am 80 I will buy myself a pack of Nat Sherman Classic Lights and have a glass of champagne.

I figure by then it won't matter.

I have never tried it, but I know several who swear by it

You would get just as much therapy from somebody shaking a dead chicken at you and chanting then you would get from acupuncture. I vote for the dead chicken.
