Does anyone do acupuncture? Does it actually work?

| Helps with my neck and shoulder pain a lot. Dr also uses massage and lamps in combination. Just needles did nothing. Though, my Acupuncture Dr has 30 years of experience in China. |

| My husband has terrible back issues that had led to chronic pain issues. He decided to give acupuncture a try- because why not- it can't do any harm. It helps. He goes every four weeks and he has cut down his medicine intake. For him- it is worth it. |

| Helped immensely with herniated cervical spine disc. Went to a physiatrist for it who was very skilled. |

I was trying to conceive in my late 30s for over a year. We decided to make appointments at fertility clinics, which both actually required acupuncture so I figured why not start early. By the time I had my first appointment 8-10 weeks later I was pregnant. A few other things had changed as well (had a dye study of my tubes for instance) so it’s hard to say what role acupuncture had, but regardless I’d go there and get a nice nap.
My acupuncturist also would clear my sinuses - I tend to be congested. It would feel great, but would only last a few days. |

| I tried it once. I thought it took the edge off the pain and kept me from taking narcotics. |

Sounds like Shu Fan. He's excellent |

Tried it for knee pain -- nothing.
Tried for anxiety -- still noting. For that one, the acupuncturist wanted me to also consume many hundreds of dollars of supplements that she alone could sell me. |

| For the ones who say it worked, could you please recommend your accupuncturist? |
