Acupuncture cannot fix herniated disc, but it can largely reduce the pain. You need to put the herniated disc back to its normal position by either chiropractic adjustment or Chinese bone-setting (a kind of similar to regular chiropractic adjustment but with much stronger push so you have a temporary strong pain when the disc comes back to its spot, and in most of the cases you can walk with minimal pain after the bone-setting).

Hi, thank you for your email. It seems to me that your client has needle phobia and the body overreact to needle insertion. I had a patient before, and she cried for 30 min even before I inserted an needle to her. I could only use the finest needle with minimal points for her but the result was very good. Another patient who was a marine, and he came for shoulder pain, and passed out after two needle insertion. My younger daughter also has needle phobia and I could not even insert a needle to any point in her body so far. To your client, I would suggest bloodletting cupping, which many patients can handle (surprisingly). Gua Sha also will be a good way to reduce pain. Hope this helps. May God bless you a happy 2024.
