Does anyone do acupuncture? I don't know anything about it-except that I hear it is great for possible stress reduction/relief. Am I in the wrong ballpark here? I have tried massage therapy and it does nothing to ease my anxiety, and I can't take benzo's(Klonopin, Valium..etc...). I am looking for alternative therapies to ease my anxiety. Any suggestions?
Can't say whether or not acupuncture would work for stress. I take it for a frozen shoulder in physiotherapy and it does diddlysquat. I'd say if you have an insurance plan that covers it then heck, its worth a try, and it might even work, so go for it.
I used acupuncture for constipation (it worked if you can believe it) & I gotta tell you that it was the most relaxing 30 minutes of my life. I could barely walk when I got off the table I was so relaxed. It took me about 45 minutes to get back to 100 mph again!
Acupuncture is extremely helpful for stress reduction and psycho-emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. It is fundamentally different than massage and it works on more than muscular tension - balancing the body on hormonal, neurological, and physical levels.
You can read some basic information about acupuncture and the treatment of these conditions on my website. Following are some useful links:
I receive acupuncture every week. It relaxes my muscles being that I weight lift. Acupuncture depends on the expertise of the individual. Fortunately I happened upon The Chinese Traditional School of Medicine. The treatment relaxes me and its low cost. .
Acupuncture have so many benefits. It is the best option to get rid of all kind of pain. I used to receive once in a month with the help of an expert in dynamic physiotherapy and sports injury clinic in Burlington (http://www.dynamicphysiotherapy.ca/services/acupuncture/).Acupuncture will increase the body circulation and triggering the immune response. It relaxes our body. But it is important to get proper guidance for this treatment
