I mentioned this earlier this year when i went in for acupuncture for the back problem i had been suffering with for almost 3 years and could not fix with conventional medicine and then chiropractic physiotherapy that was both painfull and expensive.
I was at my wits end, i could barely move and my uncle had just been murdered so i was emotionally a wreck, which no doubt aided in retriggering my pains. A rasta man friend of my rasta uncle and aunt suggested i try this Dr in ridge plain who does accupuncture. He is a bonified MD and also practices eastern medicine.
I did one treatment ONE, cost me about 140 to 160 tt dollars and i was fixed, straight up no BS fixed.
He also helped me with my diabetes infact i should probably go back to him to get more help with that.
The reason iam bringing this up is because a friend of mine and fellow gamer, started judo with me and some others recently, and last week or week before he got hurt in judo, unfortunate knee to lower back during a throw. Hes been in tons of pain and unable to play judo since.
Two days ago i told him to check out the doctor, he made an appointment for today, he went in at 11 and he called me about 10 minutes ago in utter disbelief at how amazingly he has been fixed. He even told the doctor about some constant nagging migraines he had been having seperate from the injury and the doctor did his needle hax on that too.
Head aches gone, back pain gone, he can walk properly again, bend and twist, ukemi, newaza and nagewaza shall follow from tomorrow again yayz!!
So if any of you out there are experiencing chronic pain for whatever reasons and are willing to try a low cost alternative treatment with a very high probability of results in one treatment and even more results with 1 or 2 follow up visits, try an accupuncturist.
Iam not even trying to plug THAT doctor, iam plugging accupuncture on the whole.
Yes ill give his name and number if anyone wants.
