I found a specialist in acupuncture and have had 5 treatments for dizziness. The first day my husband and I went to the store after and I set my cane down to look at some clothes. Then I proceeded to walk around the store for awhile before I realized that I had left my cane.
Since then, I can walk without my cane except in crowds. I am still a little hesitant but my balance is much better and the dizziness has started to subside as well.
I wouldn't have tried this except for the fact that I had surgery many years ago and the pain meds made me throw up. My surgeon was Chinese and he performed acupuncture on me and I went without any pain meds afterwards. I didn't know if it would help with dizziness and balance but I looked on the internet and found favorable info. I also trust my doctor (who does the acupuncture) and know he wouldn't do it if he didn't believe it would help.
I am grateful that I tried it and have experienced good progress ever since.
