    I have been having severe back pains, and wondering about possibly going to see someone about acupuncture, and who knows, maybe even talk to them about the smoking habit i have!
    Any ideas would be great!
    Thanks

    Get to the point!!!.....don't let the Doctors needle you...J/K
    A friend of my Wife goes for severe allergies and cronic pain...she swears it works wonders....even if it is self-healing or psychosymatic (sp?) if it helps, it helps!!!
    If insurance covers it go for it, cannot hurt!

    I can't speak about back pain, but my wife had a cough that would not go away (six weeks). She went to the doctor and they gave her some kind of pills that didn't do anything. Someone told her about acupuncture. After the first visit she didn't cough again for three weeks.
    Depending on what you have it could be great for you.

    I think I would see a spinal doctor first......see what the problem is.....and then seek treatment options..

    I know several people that have quit smoking with acupuncture, my grandmother being one of them. Sorry to hear about the back pain, but I know when it hurts so bad your willing to try just about anything.

    You need to first see your doctor. Your insurance may cover the acupuncture, but you must see your doctor first. Go through the whole process. If your over weight (can't see your dick when you pee:jawdrop: :idea: ), losing the excessive weight, and stretching could be all you need.

    we both smoked for over 20 years... we both did acupunture the same day 6 years ago and have not touched a cig since then.. the key is you have to WANT to quick.. otherwise you will not work!

    Thank you all for your replies! i wadded it up a couple of years ago on a dirtbike and have had this problem since and it starts just above my shoulder blade and wraps around strait up into my skull, the doctor was pretty poor, i had to point out that i had 3 broken ribs after the third set of x-rays (2 wks into this deal!), i now know that there is not much to be done to rib injuries, but, the shattered collar bone, and 3 broken ribs still to this day (and probably will always)cause pain, and our HMO insurance is just about worthless (Wont get into that rant!), so i seriously doubt they will handle any of the route of wellness i want to try.
    I know the "smokers hack" does'nt help either, also, i am in no way overweight!...my dick is in plain view of me when i urinate! lol that was great BTW!
    I will try acupuncture for sure, any advice as to where to go in the upland area or montclair?... i checked in on a couple places and still waiting on call backs!(typical huh?)
    Thanks again!

    Todd I have had major back pain in the past and tried everything. The only thing that helped me was acupuncture
