Have any of yall tried acupuncture? Ive recently tried it and the reason why is for my allergies. But the Acupuncturist says that acupuncture can also speed your recovery in sports and maybe prevent injuries. As for the Chinese medicine, they are just herbs. She gives them to me to naturally eliminate pain, instead of using ibruproffen which isnt supposed to be good for you.
I don’t know about using just accupuncture alone (esp. for something like allergies), but I have had stim applied via accupuncture needles to an injury and it was very effective. It all depends on the therapist though. The guy who performed the therapy would have done a great job w/ just his hands, so there is more to it than just some fancy and expensive tools.
I bet that hurts when they use the stimulation on the needles. My acupuncturist for some reason doesnt like using the stimulation on me just because Im young?
I really doubt he has the experience to be willing to do it. The guy who did it is the current therapist to some sprinters you might know lol.
It really didn’t hurt that much. Felt great afterwards, too.
