Yesterday was the my second treatment and WOW, this Doc went to town on me. I been having this nagging issue with my left shoulder for the past 3 weeks. It's painful as soon as when I wake up and at the gym I can't even lift up a 15lb weight. Well, instead of the traditional doctor I decided to give the Eastern medicine a shot. Also, it's a whole lot cheaper!
So I go in for my second treatment, Dr. Pan started off with a massage as to loosen up the area then comes the needles. This time around he uses 5 needles. He then puts a heat lamp over the needles as to transfer heat into the hurt. After about 15mins the needles are removed followed up with another massage. He now tests to see if the pain has relieved itself by moving my arm around. I twinge "ouch" still there. I'm describing the pain that's deep rooted in the shoulder. Dr. Pan turns me over, face down and proceeds with another massage. Now to meticulously trying to find the spot, he applies 4 more needles, electrodes are hooked up as well in addition to the heat lamp.
Another 15mins later, he returns removes all needles and another massage. Now the arm test...WOW, no more pain. Aside from the soreness of the needles and the deep tissue massage, the pain of the shoulder has dissipated.
Today's Weds. the following day of the acupuncture treatment...I woke up with very little (if at all) pain. Again, aside from the soreness of the needles and the massage I think this shoulder pain has been nipped in the bud, so to speak! HAPPY!!!!!
