Has anyone tried Acupuncture or reflexology before? I would love to get your opinion about your experience. I am thinking about the reflexology and/or acupuncture to help with sinus issues.

I'm currently having acupuncture done every two weeks, Beachcomber. The first session really helped after about 24 hours. The second, not so much. I have it done for fibromyalgia. I have the next session this coming Friday. I would say that overall, it's helped somewhat. I don't know about sinus issues though.

My husband had some acupuncture to help with his bad back and he ended up feeling much better and he quit smoking too. This was 8 years or so ago, so his back is hurting again and he started smoking again(not as much as he was before.)
When I say it helped with his back it means instead of 100% back pain, he only had 25% back pain after just a few sessions. I believe acupuncture is an ongoing therapy, so he should go back for more.

Oh yes, acupuncture is very helpful and the other thing that really worked for my DH's sinus issues was a neti pot. Three courses of antibiotics did nothing (duh) but that cleared him right up!

Thanks everyone! I have been doing the Neti pot, but still have the headaches when the barametric pressure changes. I will look into this.

I had a torn rotator cuff (which actually had two tears), and I was told surgery was the only way to relieve the pain. I had ten sessions of acupuncture, and my shoulder is like new!

My dog is currently undergoing acupuncture treatments for arthritis, and he's back to being his bouncy self!
