My friend G. recommended an acupuncturist to me so I'm all set, once she calls me back.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Megan, I think Lori's had acupuncture.
I've heard good things about the place on Wionsor Street. I think it's called North Wind, and they do acupuncture there.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
The kind of treatment where they do electricity at the acupressure points instead of sticking a needle in works just as well, according to a study I read about in Skeptic Magazine (which concluded that acupunture did indeed work). So if you don't like needles, there is another option with the same effect.
I also
strongly
recommend that you do not try to use a muscle that has a needle stuck in it. That experience is definitely right up there in the pain-I-have-undergone list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My treatment involved both electricity and puncture -- electricity was shot down some of the needles.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

That's the type I've been getting, along with massage.
'Twas weird.
That it is...

I just had the needles, but they felt tingly and electric on their own. (And excruciating, when I tried to sit up to look at the ones in my stomach.)

Uh, did they make you talk or did you escape?

I am now afraid. Very afraid. Though I feel that after having cortisone injections directly into my sinuses, I can do anything.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Megan, from what I hear they barely hurt.

I'm willing to try anything so I hope the hurty is minimal.
