Anyone tried Dry Needling or Acupuncture for Pain or Neuropathy?

Posted by judypall @judypall, Mar 22, 2019

Has anyone had any luck with either dry needling or acupuncture? I have tried each of them one time. But made my feet tingle more. The PT who was administering the dry needling said that it goes through a cycle of pain to get better. I wasn’t too sure on that. Anyone?

Well I was going to a 'community acupuncture center', so for all of July my sessions were only $10 each and other times I would pay $15 or $20. So not too much loss other than my driving time. The acupuncturist was saying because I’ve had it so long (18 mo.)🤔 it’s going to take a while. I bought that until last Thursday when my worst days were Thursday Friday Saturday but Sunday was better. I am 75 % sure I won’t return unless other members weigh in here and tip my decision towards continuing. Thanks to you three!

I tried acupuncture at the recommendation of a pain clinic doctor. I went to 13 sessions with little or no improvement. I think the acupuncturist was a money grabber after reading in this Chronic pain posts that some practitioners said if it didn’t work after 3-4 sessions to stop coming. I have had thoracic back spasms for 5 years and nothing I’ve tried so far has worked.very discouraging.
