I have to disagree that needling doesn’t work. I had the worst case of shingles Drs. had seen. The cure for my case of severe shingles pain came from a very talented acupuncture therapist. I loved how she described, “Next, we are going to cut off the head of the dragon” because Chinese medicine compared the pain of shingles to that of dragon breath.

Yes, the colorful descriptions are what led me to study TCM back in early 2000s. One of the instructors I had taught how the relationship between client and practitioner often is what contributes most to healing, in addition to regression to the mean.

I am finding acupuncture to be fascinating and bizarre in a good way. The body is such a miracle and we still have a lot to learn about treatments and how and why things get messed up inside of us glad it helped you, I will continue to go for my treatments with a positive attitude.
