Ayam been having some shoulder pain for some time now. Not too painful that I need to go doctor, just uncomfortable. Amoi at my workplace suggest ayam go do acupuncture. Anyone got experience before? Legit or just Chinese version of bomoh?

if your brain thinks it will help, it will help. placebo effect is real.
if you think its a sham, it wont work at all.

Acupuncture got license and certification la... Ccp already say, Less that 10% is certified.....Real punya... The rest is fake aka visit at you own risk.....
Just like 1 of massager that my sis visit every week..... Must go every week, other doctor med can't take, and must go him there..... Me and my mother like wtf.....

scam.
if traditional chinese medicine works, we would just call it medicine and practice it in hospitals and medical fields.
instead we have shamans pushing the concept of hot and cold, poking needles into Qi points and all these rubbish which isnt backed by science.

Acupuncture probably can give you temporary symptomatic relief. Go get help from orthopedic lah. If don’t want, then get a proper chiro lah
