This miserable ailment had been with me for years, limiting my ability to turn my neck and interfering with my sleep. I’d tried stretching, physical therapy, massage and prescription muscle relaxants. Nothing had solved the problem.
Figuring I had nothing to lose, I gave acupuncture a try. Finally, I am pain-free. And humbled.
Calling acupuncture “alternative,” let alone “new age,” ignores the fact that the practice has been around for more than 3,000 years. Acupuncture originated in China, and gradually spread across Asia.
