In fact i can even see the benefit of increasing blood flow to an area using the needles. This brings your natural anti-inflammatories to the area better. However, you can do this with massage, exercise etc I feel that the benefit of Acupunture, for me, is not there. For others it might be... just do not say that Acupuncture helps balance your energy etc. As that is just saying it makes you feel better. The potential of harm from sticking needles in your body IMO is greater than any benefit i would receive from it.
So then I am wrong when I say it works for me?
