After hurting my knee in Aug. 2022, I went to an acupuncturist whom my friend had seen for her knee. Whereas her knee pain disappeared within 24 hours, mine got worse... and I felt almost high after my treatment, which focused on my legs and upper body. After 3 days, there was a net improvement, though, in my level of pain, but I went a little too hard in an athletic yoga (sorry, but yoga should just be for relaxation, not for getting into shape, as dar as I am concerned) and the twinges started ip again. The following week, I saw the acupuncturist again and explained my reaction to his treatment. He decided to just focus on my legs. This treatment “sealed the deal” for me: since May 2023, I have felt very few twinges of pain in my knee, despite doing quite hard HIIT workouts. I look forward to continuing going to see him for other aches and pains and for the occasional energy tune-up.

Really good advice. What was the thing that you do in between? Does insurance cover it?

I have a client whom I drive to the acupuncture clinic, for her phantom pain in her amputated leg.

She swears by it!

Also I saw you may be doing Rieke or to that effect, if so please let me know. I have had remarkable results with Rieke. Thank you.
