    Anyone here has connection with TMac? Mr. Clutch definitely can help me let TMac know accupuncture probably can pull him out of back pain touble. My friend, a research in medical school told me accupuncture sucessfully controled many athletic pain problems. Why not make a try, no side effect.
    Please read wikepedia link to know more about that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acupuncture

    Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year to All.

    i play socced soccer at San Jacinto College the past couple of years, and my roommate, who is a goalkeeper had back problems and spasms, had tried accupuncture and he said that was the cure for him and he was back to normal after that, im sure T-Mac's back spasms are probably more intense than his but it is definately worth a try, im actually surprised that T-Mac hasnt tried this yet, or has he?

    Merry Christmas ClutchFans!!! - Doc

    Yeah we've been talking about this for a while.

    I know some people here have connections with the Rockets staff/organization and Clutch himself has some himself.

    I think we should try to maybe someway get this across to the Rockets and T-Mac? Could Clutch help do this? Anyone else he?

    I think Yao's parents should have recommended to him many times. He might just don't believe it.

    It's not like accupuncture is some little-known treatment that T-Mac's doctors (some of the best specialists in the world) have never heard of.

    If there was a chance that it could help, they would have already tried it.

    you think a doctor will tell him to try alternative medicine and miss out on potential revenue?

    What's the difference between a back specialist telling him to follow a specific training or stretching regimen or telling him to undergo accupuncture?

    Their job is to fix T-Mac's back.

    Besides, accupuncture is a pretty obvious idea. There's no way this hasn't been discussed with T-Mac by someone.

    If they don't know enough about acupuncture, which is very likely, it's not professional for them to recommend it, because if something bad happens they will be accountable. Better safe than sorry, especially when you are dealing with someone who has more than enough money to hire a good lawyer to suit.


    Not sure if it's true for western doctors, many of them might be still very skeptical of acupuncture, because they are not educated or trained for that.

    I second that. It is scientifically proven that acupuncture can relieve pain without much side effect. It probably won't fix T-Mac's back. I think it is worth a try to see if T-Mac can feel better even if the back problem persists. :cool:

    Acupuncture is very very popular in China, and sometimes it can even create magic that is so unbelievable to the western doctors. Believe me, it definitely worths a try.

    On 790 right now someone called in saying that the guy TMAC is going to see in Waco is nicknamed "The Witch Doctor". He said he's in between a chiro and in between accupunc... He said around that area he is known as the "Witch Doctor" because of the remarkable things he does. He said that just recently Earl Cambell went over there, because he had been having trouble simply sitting up and was using a cane to walk. Well evidently after one session with the "Witch Doctor" Earl was walking properly. The caller also said evidently a number of UT players go to see this guy when they are in pain. I found that pretty interesting. Seems like they are starting to get desperate with TMAC's back, but hopefully this guy in Waco will help.

    Only in Houston would our championship hopes ride on some witch doctor out of Waco recommended by Earl Campbell... :D I wonder what his trick is, Dr. Pepper baptism?

    Yao was recently complaining a back problem. If he makes another 30 10 game tonight, that would convince TMac to try that. :)

    If this works, offer the witch doctor a million dollar contract to be T-mac's personal witch doctor.
