   Question    posted to Acupuncturists on 10/14/07 04:20 PM, Scarsdale, NY 10583
I have had severe pain from facial reconstruction surgery I had in Dec '06.  The doctors tell me it is nerve pain but the area I have the pain in has tissue under the skin that has no feeling when pinched with a needle and very little bleeding. The pain is a very sore raging sensation. I have tried massage, ultra sound,and nerve medications none of which has made a remarkable difference.  Any suggestions?

Answer: I suggest you come for a consult. By using applied kineseology quickly, also called muscle testing, we can find some good potential solutions. Non-invasive solutions, such as acupuncture or NAET, may help resolve this. You can call my cell at 914-645-6403 to discuss. Take care.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding facial pain after reconstruction surgery. It is very common that surgery trauma results in both impaired circulation to an area and nerve damage. I have had excellent results working with acupuncture to heal post-surgical effects: it might take some time, but each session is cumulative and will start to show results more and more as we go forward, providing motivation to continue. Acupuncture works more profoundly than massage or ultrasound, and much more naturally than medications, so is definitely worth a try.

For more information about me and my practice feel free to visit my website at www.livingartfully.org.

Thanks again for writing - I look forward to helping you.

Thank you for your inquiry about my services. Acupuncture may be helpful in that it increases blood flow and reduces inflammation. Local points are needled using Japanese fine guage needles, as well as distal points. As far as how many treatments I would suggest, it varies, depending on severity of pain and your overall health.
 
If you have any further questions, or would like to set up an initial consultation, I may be contacted at (914) 472-2600.
 
Thank You,
Andrea

Acupuncture may be helpful with the problems you mentioned (nerve damage ). It may help the issues directly or may help the secondary symptoms formed as a consequence of having to compensate over time.
A trial  of therapy would be the most informative in determining how much help acupuncture might provide.
