Acupuncture

I've always wanted to try it. For some reason it never worked out that I could go. Well, I met a doctor who offered me 50% off so I figured, "what the heck?".

I went yesterday. I knew it was all about needles so that didn't bother me. After about 10 minutes of little pin pricks into my most troublesome areas, the doctor left me and the pins to relax for about 20 minutes. The needles didn't hurt at all. I felt very little of the actual pin points.

The doctor told me that he did about three sessions worth in one session so I might be pretty sore today. I have to say that I'm not sore at all. In fact, I felt much more relaxed and I think I had more of a spring in my step. :) I slept really well too. He wants me to come back once a week for a few weeks. That's really not doable considering he's about 35 minutes away from where I work. I'd have to take a long lunch or something.

I definitely want to go back. It's pretty cool to feel your muscle instantly relax. One spot that he worked on has been my weak spot in my back for about ten years. If he can help that heal, it's all worth it!

Now to see if there's a spot that he can hit that will help my body lose weight. Wouldn't that be nice?
