Considering giving it a try but would appreciate some opinions.If you're wanting this because of pains, I have a friend that had major back pains, he said it was the worst thing he ever felt, he tried everything until he found the right chiropractor which he describes as him saving his life for curing him. He said he's a little Mexican guy lol
Thanks!

I have a few times. I was pretty skeptical, but have to say I am now a believer. I do not think it is a cure all and it may not be for everyone but I suggest trying it.

OP- there is much allopathic and osteopathic medicine does not know. Acupuncure is an ancient art poorly understood in the West. How much the effect is placebo v genuine benefit to the patient is unclear.Oh, I've been to a specialist. After x-rays and blood work, he told me that I needed to lose weight (duh!) and take Motrin.
Not recommended for treatment of cancer or other serious medical issues.
May have benefit for musculoskeletal pain.
Acupuncturists are licensed by the State Board of Acupuncture - under the State Medical Board.
Be sure you see a licensed acupuncturist - sterility and cleanliness is paramount.
Carefully check the establishment for license and sterility. Re-using needles is prohibited.
Acupuncture may benefit symptoms - however, please consider a careful evaluation for the underlying cause of your pain.
Wish you well
