In Oriental Medicine, we cannot isolate one symptom or one condition. We will have to review the medical history of each patient before we can make a full assessment. Acupuncture is known to reduce inflammation and pain. In the case of Neuromyelitis optica, it is possible to reduce the symptoms and treat the underlying condition. Case study: My 77 year old wife suffers from Neuromyelitis Optica and was diagnosed 28 months ago. She has had 2-5 round Plasma Farisia treatments,... 2-Retuximab infusions, Neurologist and Doctors have prescribed over 20 different muscle relaxers [and some sleep medications] to relieve all of these spasms and the pain. And all of them either 1) did not help at all 2) caused the number of spasms/contractions per hour to double, last much longer, and cause much more pain, and/or blackout. She has not had a suffering/pain-free second for 28 months. She cries and screams from the pain all day long and all night long. Any ideas if acupuncture may help, or if there is/are some other treatments that can provide her relief? See more

For a first time acupuncture patient, I always say to communicate if there is any discomfort with the needles. Sometimes, based on people's sensitivity, it is possible to feel a little prick that goes away quickly after insertion. If the pain remains then it is imperative to remove the needle and reinsert again. It doesn't happen very often but it is important to be clear. If all the needles are painful, it is possible that the practitioner doesn't have good technical skills so it is not recommended to continue your therapy there. Again, if there is any pain that is persisting during the therapy from the needle, tell the practitioner to remove the needle immediately. Happy Holidays!
