does it work ? ive heard a few people say it stopped them smoking but i mean for injuries ? ive had a long standing injury to one knee for years so they say my other knee has taken most of the strain up until 2yrs ago when i twisted my other knee so now they are both f*****d so ive been going to physio on & off for years & painkillers arnt working aswell (propably got used to them ) they have done the usual heres some exercises stuff & tried ultra sound works for a bit then back to square one they wanted to remove the cartlidge at one point but said no as i spoke to a few people & they said it was worse so know they have said try this as they have good results with sports injuries ? or is this just another well it worked for ...... so we will try this cos we havnt really got a clue what to do next treatment

It working for me. I'm currently undergoing a course of it for my screwed up lower back and Sciatica. I twisted it at work last year and have been suffering on and off since. The final straw happened about two months ago when I sneezed and ended up being off work for two weeks. Last month I decided that I had to try and sort it out once and for all.

 

I heard a few peeps talking about acupuncture, so I thought I'd give it a go. I've just finished one course of 13 sessions, and I'm about to start another course to adjust some other niggly probs.

 

I've also been to see an Osteopath aswell to get extra help on the Sciatica, which in addition to the acupuncture, is healing up now. He noticed a major improvement since he saw me last Saturday. One thing the Osteopath told me, is that I my left leg is longer than my right leg by 1". It's been that way since birth and has never caused me too many probs until now as I'm getting older because I have adjusted accordingly to walk and move. But now with the lower back injury, it's something that I have to be wary of in future.
