Anyone tried Dry Needling or Acupuncture for Pain or Neuropathy?

Helped for the drive home.

I have tried accupuncture for my neuropathy which is diagnosed as due to toxic exposure. For me accupuncture was only a temporary solution. It was relaxing but sometimes the needles hurt depending on location. The timeframe was once a week for 4 months. I won't do it again.

I did 2x per week accupuncture for 5 months. No help. I have heard others who have found it helpful especially with electric stimulation as part of the treatment.
My neuropathy is from nerve damage to my sciatic nerve during hip surgery. Lyrica has been helpful.

I tried acupuncture with electrical stimulation. No help, unfortunately.

I've tried dry needling and it did nothing for me.

Neuropathy in front pads of feet. Acupuncture did not really help me, but foot massage did. It reduced the pain, did not eradicate it, but diminished it and eliminated the pain.

I have multiple issues in my neck and tried dry needling. It was amazing! Make sure the person who does it is well trained and experienced. I'm so grateful my doctor sent me to try it. I haven't used it for my neuropathy.

what is dry needling? i've never heard of this.

Yes, acupuncture over about 4-5 month period, twice a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for the remainder. Definitely helped - definitely . It was not immediate, but accumulative.
