My Targets

My Primary Doctor suggested me to consider acupuncture as a treatment because it is an alternative therapy that targets multiple health concerns.  I included to my treatment plan everything that I considered an obstacle to live a health life, like my chronic back pain and a digestive problem I have. But I also took advantage of the opportunity to have my energy moved around and better distributed throughout my body with Acupuncture to address minor concerns I had like my skin, my energy level throughout the day, the quality of my sleep and even emotional issues.

How does it feel ?

I was a little bit scared by the idea of having multiple needles inserted to my skin, especially on some sensitive spots like face, head, hands and feet.  I am not afraid of needles, but I couldn’t believe when people said that you can barely feel it.  From my personal experience I never felt “pain” during any of my sessions. The insertions are very quick, the needles are very thin and placed on superficial levels of your skin, the maximum I had felt was a little pitch and that’s it! After the needles are in place they usually shut the light off, turn up some relaxing music and let you just relax for about 30 minutes. I have actually fallen asleep during a few sessions, it is very relaxing and you feel great after it.

My Results

As everything in life the dream results come with a combination of things. Some of the issues I had, like the back pain, oily skin, bad sleep quality and digestive problems were related to my lifestyle as well.  I added acupuncture sessions to changes I made on my routine, like drinking more water, eating cleaner, taking breaks from my desk and stretching, and so on. The results came with time, discipline and from my personal experience I have gotten amazing results from my acupuncture treatment plan.
