The needle and no damage done

Tribune intern Megan Weaver shared this reflection after experimenting with acupuncture for the first time with Weaverville resident Brian Moran.

"After speaking with Moran, I decided to experience this practice first hand, and I was given an abbreviated treatment. After a quick health examination, my treatment began with a Chinese massage that focused on a rocking sensation. Then, 15 very thin needles were placed at various acupuncture points on my body. I felt no pain, and the increase in blood flow and energy was apparent at the acupuncture sites. I also felt very relaxed."

Weaver will have more on Moran in her feature, which will hit newsstands Thursday.
