Pins and Needles

For the last 10 years or so I have been leaning away from traditional medicine in favor of the alternative therapies that are out there.
Having suffered from a certain condition (not serious, just annoying) and having the medical community not able to give any relief I was becoming a little frustrated, (okay allot).
I went to the web in sea ch of an acupuncturist in hopes that I could get some relief. I have been twice now and things seem to be improving.
The sessions are about 90 minutes and far from uncomfortable. There is a small sensation when the needles are placed and that is about it. Then you rest with the lights low and music playing. After the session she gives me a nice head and shoulder massage.
She received her degree from a college in California and then did an internship at a hospital in Beijing. The treated patients at the local hospital and then did classwork in the afternoons.
So if you have problems that are not be resolved in the western medical manner give needles a try. With an open mind of course.
