I went to an accupuncturist for tx of severe spasms in neck, trap area. The
treatments did help reduce the spasicity. I use frequencies to help control
them, as well. Other nerve problems are persistant and I finally found a current
medication that helps numb the nerve endings. I utilize every alternative
modality available but some disorders need a little help while getting these
treatments. My nerves are receiving the wrong impulse due to major accident and
surgeries. The medication is new and is considered an anti-depressant but works
more-so with the noroepinephren transmitters: Savella is a new class that is now
used to tx fibromalgia. If all else fails, I make recommendations to talk to
their physician about this strategy while implementing the holistic modalities:
TENS, magnetic therapy, accupuncture, etc. Sometimes we need to do a blending of
both models until the body can make that shift to align with working with the
meridians and energy balancing.
I would give it a few more treatments though.
