Today I have a video shoot scheduled with a local acupuncture clinic. I've never had acupuncture before, and honestly, I'm a bit nervous about it. Anyone have experience with acupuncture to help reassure me?
@GaryPoole Hey! So, I've never had Acupuncture-Acupuncture, but I did get something called dry-needling when I hurt my back, which is like acupuncture with electricity attached to it.
It did not hurt, mostly, unless they hit a nerve, which shot electric pain all down my whole leg. Then they'd attach electricity to it and make my muscles contract automatically, which for some reason I'm still not completely clear about, was therapeutic.
Hope this helps! 💜 You'll be fine.
@GaryPoole Just try not to wiggle too much when they're sticking needles in you.
@GaryPoole Don't be nervous, done correctly it should be an amazing experience for you. It's nothing like you're building in your mind, you'll enjoy it even if it doesn't provide relief. It's like chiropractic care, it's not for everyone but some love it.
@GaryPoole I find acupuncture relaxing. Dim light, soft music very calming.
@GaryPoole My dog had it to try and help her arthritis pain. If a 17 year old dog can do it, you can to!
@GaryPoole it's pretty painless. Hydrate after. Breathe
