You saved my knees, so I went to the acupuncture discussion. I absolutely agree! For 2 years I suffered from carpal tunnel and medial nerve problems in both arms, hands and fingers. After taking off work (I type all day), advil (daily), physical therapy (twice), cortisone shots (1), I tried acupuncture. I was skeptical but my acupuncturist (Andy Lee in Santa Clarita, CA) answered all my questions. After a couple sessions I was finally pain free and even when my WC insurance stopped paying for him, I pay the $50 per session once a month for maintenance. I can do my job! I was at the point where my doctor said \you'll be back\ and I would most like have gone on disability. With Andy Lee's advice, I am bike riding for cardio, doing pilates for strengthening, trying to eat right and get plenty of rest. At 50 I am heading for the best health I've ever been. Along with the hand and arm problems I developed plantars fascitiis too, acupuncture and exercise is helping. Andy taught me that we must be proactive in our own health and fitness. Until I was pain free, I didn't realize what it was doing to my life. Acupunture rocks! I do not usually do this; but I came to your website for information on why my knees hurt when bike riding.

But it really did me wonders I never knew could happen. Dr. Z. Mao at the Lu-Jean Feng Clinic (Cleveland, OH area) is the Chinese doctor I have gone to for nearly 2 years, every 6-8 weeks. I am an athlete and my long distance bicycling, hiking, and running and the body can get some aches and pains. Acupunture takes care of it all, everytime. The wonderful energy I receive from acupunture is priceless! But my most profound experience with acupunture came when a lifelong dear friend died very suddenly. I went into shock, grief, then began spiraling into depression. I just couldn't shake the saddness, the great sense of loss in my life. I was just about ready to go see a pychiatrist, I was afraid I would soon end up in a hospital from this grieving I could not shake off. Then I thought, \I wonder if acupunture could do anything for this?\ I googled the question, and indeed yes. I immediately called Dr. Mao. He was able to get me in that very afternoon. I walked in and was a bit embarassed to tell him how much grief I was experiencing, I had tears streaming down my face. He assured me he could help. There has been nothing so dramatic in all my life as when I was finished with that ONE treatment. I got up off the treatment table and I had such a renewed sense of being, I can not describe it. I walked out of there with smiles. And not for one moment since have I had this 'grief cloud' that dominated my body, mind and spirit. Immediately I could think of my loved one with a joy in my heart. The tears were gone, I could go on. And to this day, nearly a year later I am still in awe how acupunture can heal deep grieving, and sadness! I too started Acupunture a skeptic. But it really did me wonders I never knew could happen.

Pet chiropractors and Acupuncturists are few and far between, though it seems the field is growing. Good to know you!

I am glad that this form of treatment has helped you becoming pain free again. I am providing acupuncture for pets and know that it does work, as my patients will not pretend. However, not all respond to it in the same way and sometimes not at all. I am convinced it helps in a lot of cases and where conventional therapy does not help any more or would have too many side-effects. Acupuncture is amongst alternative therapies and treatments the best researched modality and is being accepted by human and veterinary professionals and pet insurance companies start to cover this form of treatment, too.
