I have been suffering from back pain for years. I’ve tried several treatments prescribed by my doctor, but nothing has had a lasting effect. I finally decided to try alternative medicine .
My friend, Amelia, swore by acupuncture . She said that her knee pain went away after only a few weeks of therapy . She was skeptical when she first started, but she knew after only a few sessions that it was working for her and that this was no New Age nonsense. She thought it might work for me, too.
My co-worker, Ray, suggested that I try some homeopathic treatments. He said that takingherbal supplements that are all natural has helped him recover after getting injured on the job a couple of months ago. He took these as complementary to the traditional medicationhis doctor gave him. He said that even though the herbs he takes haven’t undergone clinicaltrials , his own experience told him that they work.
I’m a little nervous about trying these unorthodox treatments, but after hearing about Amelia’s and Ray’s experiences, I’m willing to give them a try. Nothing has worked so far, sowhat do I have to lose ?
