[quote=Anonymous]I've used it, my 80+ yr old mother used and my dog has used it.

Whether it is effective depends on the practioner and the individual. If you don't have positive results after a few sessions, it's probably not going to be effective this time but may later.

The first time I received treatment was when I was pregnant and had really bad nausea. Although needles are not always placed at the site of problems/discomfort, in this case, the last needle was right above my stomach. I felt my midsection relax when she did it. It was incredibly helpful.

My next round was about 15 years later. I'd had repetitive injuries to my ankle, had surgery and, 6 months later, had a lot of compensatory stress on the opposite side. Again, it was really helpful.

My lean, 86lb Lab was suffering from arthritis. Medications were no longer effective in treating it. After just 1 session with the veterinarian doing acupuncture, his limping was reduced by about 80%. After 2 sessions, it was gone. After 4 sessions, we moved to maintenance of once every 3 months. He never needed arthritis/pain medication again.[/quote]
