i had accupuncture this morning. but I do not see any change in my condition. is accupuncture a hoax.

Answer:

I see your part of the NOW generation. You want instant results. Acupuncture doesn't work instantly. It took you years to create a health problem and you want it to go away yesterday. It doesn't work that way. It took a long time for the problem to manifest. It will take a long time to heal, unless of course you keep doing the same thing that caused the problem. For that you will have to wait until you stop causing the problem.

Acupuncture doe work, but you have to give it time. What are you getting it for? I know someone who gets acupuncture for back pain and it has helped, but it is a slow process and you have to stick with it.

you can't expect much from only 1 session. Give it some time.

I had a lot of success with feeling better with acupuncture but it was not long lasting. I had an extremely stiff neck. I had many x-rays and physical therapy. There was really nothing wrong with my neck other than very tense muscles.

I finally went and had acupuncture. It didn't turn out to be a cure. While I was going - for four months, there was great improvement. Hardly any pain at all. It gradually came back when I stopped. The acupuncture was very expensive. It would have been worth it if it would have been a cure. I feel that a massage would have probably done the same thing, but I did not think about that at the time.

I've used acupuncture several times and it's always worked. It works better on some things such as tendinitis, than others. Give it a chance. It's been around a lot longer than the meds on the market.

Just like any medical treatment, you cannot expect results "overnight".

Both my wife & I get regular sessions and it has helped both of us.
