@heyjoe415 I believe you are fortunate to have discovered acupuncture, as I also had major health improvements when I first discovered it decades ago and have utilized it ever since, although don’t need it that much. I say, use what works! (And I find taking half a scoop of Calm brand Magnesium Citrate once a day does wonders for constipation (and mixed with water, makes the water tasty, so I hydrate more regularly). I am sure there are other brands that work but this one just tastes so great!

Thank you nm80!
I did the acupuncture session mostly as a lark and was amazed at the results.
I've also been told that dry needling can help by being placed directly in a muscle (as opposed to acupuncture that works along "meridians" in the body). I will likely do both as I found acupuncture so effective.
My therapist explained that as we age, the fascia surrounding our muscle fibers gets dryer and tight. The needle penetrates that fascia and ultimately loosens so muscles can move against each other with less friction (and tightness).
Hey, it worked and I will make it part of my health routine!
Joe
