Dry needling and acupuncture helped lots for spine muscle cramps, ache

I’ve had a similar experience. My insurance doesn’t cover those procedures, so…..I still get them though. It’s worth it.

I'm glade this was helpful

Yes same here $40 each time. I haven't co with my new insurance yet. If it works they don't like to pay for what they. Call natural med.

To me, insurance should update their positions. Those procedures would help so many people and it’s much less than a lot of other treatments.

I agree. I was talking to a coworker and his wife has MS their both on Medicare and Drs drawn on it so their using their ins which won't pay for her injections . The shots are 18,000 for 3 shots so he has no choice but to keep working. Their looking for a different company or another way to pay for shots. What a shame they can't enjoy retirement. If anyone has any ideas plz pass them on. Thx

Has anyone had a relief of back pain using the above methods

If you could provide some information about the location of the pain, diagnosis, previous treatments and outcomes. Thanks

MRI confirmed spinal stenosis l(4)(5)
Had previously tried epidural injection only helped briefly.
I got Acupuncture thru the VA .Medicare did not cover it.Dry needling help some what.
PT have to know that Spinal Stenosis is present and not to do bridge exercises . I would not do surgery unless I am one step away from a wheelchair . I did try another epidural last week ,only time will tell and of course it’s always Tramadol or Lyrica🤔if pain get to bad

Yes I have been going to an Acupuncturist for about 5 years and have also had spinal injections....The acupuncture has been great and really helped but only if you go to someone who is qualified and certified in acupuncture. I laughed when my doctor told me it would help but it really has!!
