So has anyone tried this? I will be making an appointment later today for my wrists. I have heard great things from numerous people about this and was just curious as to what to expect. Thanks in advance!

JRod, I am very interested in hearing your reaction and feedback on this.
I have had some minor wrist issues for a couple of years and have considered this.
Please keep us updated. Good luck !
Good question. I will be finding out today. I'm also not sure if insurance covers it.
I wondered about that. They won't even cover hearing aids for loss after surgery many times, I doubt they do. Main this is does it work? Good luck!

Only person I know who tried it was my Dad, he did it 35 years ago to stop smoking. He took the treatment and then they put a "staple" behind his left ear lob. He was to rub it anytime the urge to smoke hit him. He successfully stopped smoking through acupuncture. Unfortunately he passed away since then and I cannot question him further about his thoughts on this.
I had it done as a part of my therapy for my back.....it wasn't bad but I only had to go for a few times. Didn't think the pain was too bad but that depends on where you're getting stuck, etc.
I go once a month for my back and have for years. When I miss a month or appt. I feel the difference. My acupuncturist hooks me up to a small electric current for 30min each session. No pain unless a severe area. Out of 35-45 pins I think I may get a quick twinge of pain from two. It leaves as quick as it arrived
Quick question Sr. Kong....do you think that's more mental for you or do you definitely notice it on a physical level?
Due to the type of therapy with the electric current it a physical thing for me. As I understand it, it's just more of a penetrating therapy. I also have noticed some really good progress with the therapy. When I used to miss it would sideline me now it's just an ache. The same holds true for me knee. I failed to follow physical therapy after surgery and the acupuncture has aided in my range of motion.
It really makes a difference, I've done both (with and with out electric therapy) big difference in how you feel after. Stimulates blood flow and get deep into the tissueInteresting. I may need to see if the electric current option is something that will be a part of my therapy program after my procedure in August.
More like pressure than actual pain, just a slight tug when they remove it. I tried it for my back problems but it really didn't do any good.
