During my time in the Republic of Abkhazia, where I spent 9 Months with UNOMIG in 1998 if I remember correctly, I went to see the famous Professor Pak, in Gagra who specialized in Healing with Fire, an ancient Korean healing method.
He treated me by burning something on my skin, which caused me some deep burns, but my back pain disappeared for a while as a result.
The treatment itself was quite painful as can be imagined.
The acupuncture treatment was a follow up treatment for the burns.
