Acupuncturist recommendations

[scoffer]

Can you suggest a good acupuncturist in PP, Am having problems with swelling in the arch of foot, this is a long term problem and has been treated by Western doctors but not resolved so am willing to try a different option.

Dr. Kim from Korea used to be in TTP, but when I tried looking for him a year or so ago, he couldn't be found at either of the 2 locations where I used to see him. Phone #s didn't work. And emails returned saying no such address. He was good and cheap too! $15 for the first visit (got my own personal pins), then $9 for each visit after. Took 1 hour for poking on both sides (cue gay jokes 3, 2 ,1...) plus back cupping. I never really believed in acupuncture until I started seeing him.

Please post if you find a good one.

Dick van der Poel at Physiotherapy Phnom Penh is excellent. He studied acupuncture in Singapore, if I remember correctly.

What next scoffer? A goatee and a man-bun?

I don't have enough hair for a man bun and the wife made me shave off my goatee of 38 yrs, but I will settle for a piggy back until I can sort out the foot issue.

Scoffer,

When you say ''swelling'' do you mean a painful tightness and high foot arches thing?

You ever tried ''sciatic nerve flossing'' or other nerve flossing?
The sciatic nerve evidently runs from your eyebrows to your feet.

I lengthened my hamstrings by just doing like a hamstring stretch on the edge of a sofa or bed with the leg out in front but then curling the toes towards you whilst tucking the head down and chin in as far as you can go.
So i guess it's more a lower back issue with me.

Lots of nerve flossing stuff on here ;
