Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Hi, Greetings everyone! I am new to the group so please read my post with that in mind. Here's my story: I recently sent my dad to an acupuncturist near Seattle (at the Edmonds Wellness Clinic) to help relieve his lower back pain. The acupuncturist insisted that he needed a minimum of 10 sessions in order to help my dad feel better. Based on references from a friend, we decided to stick with him. After the 3rd session, my dad started to feel numbness and extreme sensitivity to cold in his lower left leg. He stated this to his acupuncturist but he couldn't seem to eliminate this problem. On the plus side, though, his lower back pain had diminished. After the 7th session, the numbness persisted. We were very upset about this by this point. So, we decided not to continue any further. We are now trying to decide whether to continue treatments with a different acupuncturist or to seek an alternative treatment. Can anyone offer any advice?
