針灸 / acupuncture

唔知大家有冇試過針灸醫病呢?

自從上個月有一次做kick boxing時扭親條腰同盤骨附近之後, 已經停左玩 kickboxing, 初頭以為肌肉過一段時間會好番, 但點知剛剛相反, 越來越痛, 痛到我每日坐多過兩個鐘就開始好痛, 連瞓覺都痛。我試過做左兩次 body massage, 但都冇任何好轉。終於我今日問個同事攞左個電話, 去佢之前介紹嘅一位中醫師度做針灸。之前我呢位同事因為整親條頸, 痛到擰唔轉個頭, 佢去呢位中醫度睇左一次, 夜晚已經可以轉度頸! 我聽到之後都覺得好神奇, 所以今次要搵呢位中醫師救我一命。

今日我去到, 解釋左我個問題之後, 佢就幫我針喇。先針背, 18針!! 嚇鬼, 我真係驚到飛起, 個醫師同兩位護士都叫我放鬆肌肉, 哈哈。之後轉身, 再針另一些部位, 有8針呀! 針落去就唔係痛, 但攞番支針出來時就真係有少少痛。

醫師話我呢次大約可以好番6成, 真係唔好講少, 我依家真係冇痛乜劑喇 (雖然仲有少少痛)。個醫師以前係政府醫院嘅放射治療師, 個架針灸嘅電機係佢自己改良的。星期一放工會再去多次, 希望之後真係好番晒啦!

I wonder if any of you have tried this traditional way of Chinese medicine - accupuncture - before to cure diseases and/or body pains?

Since I twisted my back and the bottoms about a month ago, I have stopped doing kickboxing, thinking that after not doing it for a while, I could give my body muscles a good rest and that they would recover by themselves soon. Nevertheless, my back and bottoms are getting more and more painful. Whenever I sit for more than two hours or so, my back and bottoms will get so sored.  Sometimes, I can't even sleep well at night because of the pain. Today, finally, I couldn't stand the pain anymore so I asked for the telephone number of a Chinese accupuncturist from a colleague of mine. He used to have some huge pain in his neck that he couldn't even move his head a bit. He went to see this acupuncture master and believe it or not, only after one treatment, he could already move his head freely. Incredible. So this time I decided to try my luck with this acupuncture master .

Today when I saw the acupuncture practitioner, he first had a consultation with me, asking me what pain I have, why I have caused the pain and the body areas that I have the pain. Then I changed clothes, lay down on a bed and with the assistance of two nurses, he started to insert needles onto certain areas in my back and the areas closed to my bottoms. Altogether, a total of 18 needles were inserted into my back!!! After a 5-minute treatment, I then was asked to turn around, and he inserted another 8 needles into my thighs. I didn't feel any pain at all when he inserted the needles, but when he was taking the needles off my body, I could feel a bit of pain, but not much.

The acupuncturist, before the treatment, told me that I should be 60% cured after this treatment and I would already feel much better afterwards. Really, now I'm feeling much much better with my back and bottoms. I will be seeing this acupuncturist again next Monday and hopefully my pain will be totally gotten rid of. By the way, this acupuncturist was a government radiographer.
