# I'm having acupuncture for tendonitis
Despite my huge wodge of scepticism with a side of 'yeah sure...' it is actually working a treat.
never ever in a million years did I ever think I would say that.

# it took me a while to believe it would work
I'm very happy to say it is great - very effective, although takes a while to get used to

# I went in quite convinced I was going to come out yelling "charlatan"
and totally amazed myself and family by my total u-turn. Same for the chiropractic treatment I've been getting. However NOTHING will convince me about any merits in homeopathy. I do have my limits you know :)
really I do

# Aye, I've stuck with Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and Acupuncture to help me over the years
and thankfully don't need them 'quite' as much these days

# For the last umpteen years I have been having cluster migraines.
Since going to my chiropractor I haven't had any. Honestly nobody was more surprised than me. I was the world's biggest sceptic especially as x-rays & other tests hadn't shown anything wrong with my head or neck.

# Blimey!
Small world indeed. I'll watch that youtube later as well. Has chiropractic helped you with yours at all?

# the chiro, no, that was mainly for spinal problems and a dodgy hip I have
the acupuncture has been the most effective in coping through the clusters. Not a remedy by any means, but it makes them slightly less potent when they happen

# When I started chiro
At the consultation stage he asked me some general questions about headaches and when I told him about the cluster migraines to be fair he did say that he may be able to help relieve them but not stop them. But I can now honestly say I have only had one real bout in the last six months which is amazing to say the least. I would touch wood if I were superstitious after saying that

# One of the few therapies that seems feasible.

# OK
For musculo-skeletal problems (although not shown to be any more effective than conventional physio), but they claim a lot of woo: "subluxations" (an imaginary concept, undecetable even by the chiros themselves), and claiming that it can cure asthma and infant colic.
