Acupuncture for Pain
Original Post: Are there any benefits of acupuncture for PPS + fibromyalgia pain? My meds and cortisone injections aren’t giving me the relief I need and I can no longer take anti-inflammatories. I am looking for non-pharmaceutical relief.
Dr. Bruno’s Response: No one knows how acupuncture works and it doesn't work for everyone. I don't think it can do harm to a polio survivor.
The only danger is that you won't be looking for the actual triggers for pain and rely on acupuncture – or drugs or herbs and spices – instead of seeing a rehabilitation doc to find and treat the source of the pain.
