"My back and hip pain has gone. Knee next" - Auricular Acupuncture for Pain
Mar 05, 2025
Leisa had experienced debilitating back pain and hip pain for 10 years before finding herself unexpectedly pain-free thanks to her first auricular (ear) acupuncture treatment.
One downside of being rid of excruciating back and hip pain was the ability to notice knee pain. This had been eclipsed by the severity of the other pains. Once they has gone, Leisa was able to concentrate on the knee pain.
As I said at the time, she had become a very demanding client – freeing her of back pain and hip pain was no longer enough. Now she wanted the knee pain to be gone too.
Out come the needles again. Knee pain be gone, and it was.
I have become a little blasé about these results. It has become my normal, just like being able to help people to sleep and to use auricular acupuncture to support their mental health.
I have a word with myself. I can’t make this normal, even though it is normal for me. It’s exceptional. Leisa had tried everything to rid herself of pain. Nothing she worked, most of it was unpleasant. She’s been trying for 10 years. One auricular Acupuncture treatment and Leisa cried. For good reason. Then she asked for her knee pain to be fixed.
