Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Hi Gang

Just returned from first Accupuncture/Dry Needling treatments for neck stiffness and Peripheral Neuropathy. Treated in neck, legs, and feet. Very interesting! Therapist tells me she works on a lot of patients with chemo/radiation related PN with much success!

Anyone out there use Acupuncture or Dry Needling for post treatment recovery? Is it working for you? I'm going to give it a good go! I'll keep everyone updated on progress.

My husband had a lot of acupuncture to help with swallowing issues and mucous problems.  They seemed to help tremendously.

I am having some problems with hurting in my rib area.  I am doing chiropractic treatment with acupuncture.  It seems to be helping greatly.

Find a good acupuncturist and go for it.   It certainly will not hurt and it may help!    Hugs and prayers!

Dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

We will be on "pins and needles" waiting for your acupuncture results.....LOL........hope you Rode that Bad Boy to the appointment-acupuncture has demonstrated some good results including dry mouth for head and neckers-let me know...you can also try a TENS unit for neck pain as well as 5% Lidoderm patches( need a prescription for both-physical therapist etc could show you how to use the TENS unit-Lyrica also good for PN.........Ride to Live and Live to Ride!!!!!!!!  Dave oudave83 

ps...if you give me preliminary results I may try acupuncture  on my Thanksgiving turkey-Tom the Turkey always sticks his neck out for us over this holiday....OK-sorry-not trying to spoil anyone's appetite with my insensitivity!  But works on Kolby Beef for 300 bucks a pound............why not my turkey......."free-range, organic,  acculturated Tom Turkeys for 4.99 a pound"!!!!!!!

LOLOL Buddy, it was -30c here in Saskatchewan that day. I know I'm cool...but I aint that cool!!! AhHAHA Hope you're not sitting on those "pins and needles", might get a little uncomfortable :o Yeeeouch!!!

Therapist says I'm going to require quite a few treatments. Says she can help with neck and feet pain/neuropathy. Rock on!!!

Buy Tom the Turkey an electric razor...since I quit using blades my "Turkey Neck" stays pretty smooooooth!!!

Happy Thanksgiving all!!!

Enjoy those "Pat-Downs" at airport security!!! OUCH!!!

Well gang, just came from 2nd Dry Needling/Acupuncture treatment. Neck stiffness is starting to loosen up. Still no change in PN in both neck and feet. Starting to feel the needles when placed in feet so that is a good sign. Don't feel a thing when Dry Needling neck/shoulder. Good thing, I understand it is quite painful. Ha...with the kind of pain we've experienced, I welcome the pricks!!! :D
