Today a patient returned a few days after his last visit. We have been treating him for a week or so and we were able to reduce his discomfort from sharp, stabbing pain to a dull pain.  But, he still hurt in the same area and the pain was constant.

I felt through the area and noted a fair amount of swelling in the area.  I decided to do needle acupuncture on the area.  After about ten minutes, we pulled the needles and he stood up.  He was pain free.  The pain in his low back, which had been there for weeks, was gone.

I wish every case responded this fast and this well.  But the truth is, not every case does.  But, once again I learned that acupuncture is a valuable tool in the restoration of one’s health and vitality.  When lots of other avenues have been pursued with little or no positive outcomes, acupuncture is a great “next step.”
