Acupuncture works, despite cupping pain HEALTH EMILY BROWN EMILY BROWN ebrown@kansan.com I decided to try out acupuncture because I'd heard it could help decrease anxiety and stress. Reporter Emily Brown shows brushing on her back after a 20-minute acupuncture session at Blue Kinko Center of Chinese Medicine, 512 E. 9th Street. In Chinese medicine, stress becomes chi energy getting backed up in the body's pathways, said Jody Krukowski, a naturopathic physician at The University of Kansas Hospital's Integrative Medicine department. Krukowski said she uses acupuncture in her private practice to get rid of that blockage. 2777 EMILY BROWN/KANSAN Even Western medicine recognizes the benefits: better muscle elasticity, increased concentration and decreased stress. 21952 The pain was minimal. I felt relaxed and calm, a common effect after acupuncture. So, I decided to give acupuncture a try. Jason Hamm, the acupuncturist who treated me at Blue Ginkgob Center of Chinese Medicine, said emotions can get stored in parts of the body. My stress was causing my muscles to tense, creating pain in those areas. The theory behind acupuncture is once you access the motor points, muscles relax, decreasing the pain. I had back pain, so Hamm put six or seven needles in my lower back and a few in my upper back. The needles are incredibly thin, and only stung a bit. However, they felt like tags on a shirt rubbing against my skin. Not painful, but not pleasant either. I laid on the table for 20 minutes. Hamm referred to it as a "forced meditation." The time allowed me to chill while my muscles relaxed around the needles — a sign that they were ready to be taken out. Then Hamm suggested a therapy called cupping, where a cotton ball dipped in alcohol is lit on fire and put into a cup, creating suction. He said this rids of toxins in the body, so I figured it couldn't hurt. As it turns out, it hurts pretty freaking badly. It felt like The Incredible Hulk grabbed parts of my back. After the cups popped off, I was twitchy and sore. I'd been warned there would be some red marks, but I wasn't too concerned at the time. However, it wasn't until I made it home that I realized those little red marks were actually giant, bright purple bruises. The bruises made it impossible to sleep on my back that night. Despite the cupping, I did really enjoy the acupuncture therapy. It only cost $60, and my lower back has been pain free since my appointment. But if I went again, I would skip the cupping, I'm willing to sacrifice my body to toxins, so I never go though that agony again.
