Our local news (Spokane) has just done a bit on Acupuncture and Cold Laser being used to help heal chronic pain, helping diabetes, shingles and more! Wow! What a great resource!
They said that European studies have so far shown it to be effective. Have you ever heard this before?
I've done accupuncture for migraine headaches. I was going every 3 weeks for about a year and it did help just got tired of going. haven't heard of cold laser, will check it out. Kathy

I guess the only one in Eastern Washington is in Spokane.
Alee, I love accupuncture...I had "tennis elbow" from doing to many massages...(I am a massage therapist} about 4 yrs ago. A friend of mine suggested an accupuncturist and I had only 1 session and I had no pain after...and I havent had any problems since. Deborah
Alee, I have had accupuncture for my pain from Rheumotoid arthritis and it really worked. I have been almost pain free for 4 months. When it begin again (th pain) I will return. I have not heard of the cold laser---Louisiana is way behind !!!
Have done acupuncture for a back problem and sinus problems worked great but took some time to have relief. But I also took a year to seek help. The downside is my insurance company would not pay for it so it does get expensive to continue treatment. But I would suggest it to anyone having problems. It's a little weird though having needles stuck into your body.
