The actor Samuel L. Jackson has had back problems, even surgery, but he gets acupuncture for more than just pain. He told Ellen Degeneres on her show, “It’s one of my favorite things. I get it all the time, like twice a week, for my well being. I just go and get my ‘waa’ put in place, and get everything moving.” Stress, poor eating habits, bad posture, too much physical or mental work, strong emotions of anger, worry, sadness, or fear, can disbalance us. Even weather extremes can affect us. Acupuncture can clear the energy pathways in our bodies and restore balance and harmony or put our “waa” back in place.
