Default Acupuncture for pain relief.

My mother , my father in law and my boss have all had acupunture done for back pain. They all claim it helped tremendously.

Has anyone else tried it for any type of pain ?

I had accupuncture After my 2nd lumbar operation and it did wotk.It didn't take all my pain away but it did help some.My problem was the doctor couldn't get the needle between my disc space because of post-op scarring.I would suggest accupuncture to anyone as it certainly won't make you worse......Dave

Acupuncture, if you can afford to do it, is better than any drug out there. I have DDD, arthritis since the age of 20 and had cervical spinal fusion a year ago. It does work, try it.
