Well, I think it did. No problems for awhile but it did come back a few months later.

Lower back pains.

The person I went to also did some flame and cup thing where they created a vacuum in the cup then placed it on you. That seemed to really loosen me up. As for the needles, they feel weird when they go in and twist.

Lower back pain & tendonitis in my left arm.

Thought it was "witchcraft" at first.... then I tried it.

Now I'm a believer. It makes the muscles relax like nothing I ever dreamed of.

Lol Chi, to acupuncturists it's the force, when really it's ancient Chinese for cash.

Penn and Teller owned that one. Good Game, big hunk of crap. People want it to work so they think it does.

Two very famous vegas magicians. They have a show called Penn and Teller: Bullshit in which they have a much more aggressive approach to a myth busters thing. They have disprove the magic bullet theory, most moon landing conspiracy theories, the war on drugs, etc.

They focused their target groups in north cal and so cal, they proved it all to be crap. Pretty legit bullshit proving if I must say so myself. Catch the episode, starts off with a bunch of half naked women bouncing around
