maintain. one is a dynamic forward balance position and the other is independent foot. if you do not have those two things right, it is very hard to accomplish a good solid racing turn."

depression caused by their treatment. they thought if acupuncture could help some of their discomfort, it could eventually be used as therapy along with the medication. what they found was both patients who were treated with acupuncture and sham acupuncture, which involves retractable needles, that are not placed in acupuncture pressure points, said they felt some relief. dr. ting bao said, "our trial definitely shows there are minimum side effects, and this can potentially help them have significant symptom improvement, both in musculoskeletal symptoms and also hot flashes." dr. bao theorizes that the pricks from both real and sham acupuncture needles may stimulate the body which can relieve pain and sham or not, acupuncture may be a reasonable alternative
