Let me start off by saying that I am a skeptic. But I had it done once by a friend(with amazing credentials) to help with a joint injury on my right arm.I can tell you this ... It did exactly what he said it would.. It took a small amount of the pain away almost immediately and by about eight hours later it was all gone,twelve hours later I felt like a million bucks and thirteen hours later I injured it again thinking that it was well enough to use.He told me about that part too..I believe that if i had gone for repeat /regular treatments and stayed off of it ,I would have healed faster and better then I did . But I am not of that character. Long story short... I believe that it is worth a try from a reputable acupuncturist. Good Luck.
My wife tried it for arthritis in her hand and she felt better.
The only side effect she had was the day after acupuncture -- her blood pressure would drop low -- but then it would be normal after that 2nd day.
Weird.
Acupuncture is a placebo. It can't cure anything.
well my mum had this on her knees, it eased her knees for one week, then the pain returned, she felt nothing as the needles went i, so in one way it works but it does not cure though, i have never had it though.
