Acupuncture, dry needling ect

[jaime1982]

Anyone try it?

I have had back pain (ql) since I was in an accident when I was about 14. Then got shingles directly on the same spot, not sure if that's nerve problem added now. It's progressively gotten worse. I take pain medication for it, stretch, use a tens, chiropractor and get deep tissue massage, use topical stuff and nothing helps for more than a few days.

What are yalls opinions on this method? Good, bad ugly..

I haven't but I'm pretty open to it. I've had x rays n stuff so my spine is ok but definitely have a very tight and agitated ql muscle.

My wife actually had several sets of injections. Last time they did a nerve burn . It worked great for about 6 months. She is scheduled for another in November.

Dry needling works..i am a high school coach and anytime we have athletes that have issues with tendonitis or anything similar, we recommend it...my daughter did it for tendonitis in her knee and after her her 1st treatment she had relief..after 3rd no more pain.

Tried the dry needling for some neck pain. Didn't help my issue as much as time passing.

I had 3 sessions of dry needling combined with an adjustment, it helped but did not cure my issue.

IMO it’s certainly worth a try

My lower back gets so bad at times, when I get out of bed, I have to walk my hands up the wall to straighten out. At one point in time I seriously thought I was going to have to quit my job. I saw every chiropractor in town multiple times with no relief. I was referred to Dr. Dan in Gorman Tx by a coworker and to say he changed my life is an understatement. Dr Dan was a Dr in the Air Force and then went to work for NASA I believe. He is a acupuncture guru. He will stick long needles in my back then hook ‘em up to a tens unit. When I get really bad I’ve got to see him around 3 times in a week and im cured for a while. Sometimes I’ll go a year or 2 without seeing him again. I don’t know what I’ll do when he decides to retire. It may be a long drive for you but it’d be worth it to me to take a week off from work and stay in a motel for him to treat me. Best of luck to ya!

I do dry needling from time to time. I've had it from two different people, a chiropractor and a physical therapist. Chiropractor used the needles and electrical deal with little to no results. Physical therapist goes DEEP into the muscles and doesn't stop until he makes it release.

I now only go to the physical therapist for it. He holds nothing back and gets to the root of the problem quick. I've been worked on so hard that my body basically had a panic attack immediately after treatment. BUT I went in there barely able to walk and came out 80% better. Was 100% the next day. He does not mess around.

Good luck. Back pain sucks!

I have only had one session of dry needling and it help alleviate some muscle pain. The pain was in a back muscle that would tense up due to some neck/back issues I developed from a vehicle accident.

My physical therapist recommended a gal that he worked with. I agree and had to pay out of pocket because insurance would not cover it. It was only like $50 and I would have paid way more in exchange for the relief.

Had a T2 thru L2 spine fusion in 08’ and get this accu done along with massage. I also get cupping for right muscles. I wouldn’t give up any of it.

I’m a physical therapist and would also suggest giving dry needling a try. I needled several people today all of which was for low back pain.

My wife has had dry needling in her shoulder area and really had good results from it. Her physical therapist did it.
