I had a crippling pinched nerve in my back which was eventually resolved through some fairly serious spinal surgery. Before I got surgery to fix the underlying mechanical issues, I tried all kinds of “Band-Aids”, including back injections, the usual cornucopia of painkillers muscle relaxers, etc. Nothing really worked well. I was skeptical of acupuncture but Thunderbolt was a real lifesaver. The treatments got me functional again. BTW, she is an excellent primary care physician and took the most thorough personal medical history I have ever had.
