I've mentioned this to my doctor a couple of times over the years, and he said that while it has worked for some people, it was always temporary. I'm not opposed to being stuck with needles, I'm heavily tattooed, but insurance won't cover it, and we can't afford it on our own.

I am using acupuncture for myofacial pain syndrome, coupled with PN. I understand it may take many, many sessions to see improvements in PN, so still too early to offer positive or negative feedback.

I did acupuncture for about 6 months. It did help with the pain (I no longer have pain - just numbness and sensitivity). The acupuncturist did say he had success with the pain but not the numbness for other patients as well. My neuropathy is not diabetic. I have had further improvement with the numbness and balance wearing barefoot (or minimalist) shoes and applying magnesium cream mixed with castor oil daily.

It is still there but much more manageable.

It didn’t work for my non diabetic neuropathy.

I’ll ask my acupuncturist more about this. I’ve had acupuncture to treat other issues but it hasn’t helped my neuropathy that I’m aware of. Mine is also non-diabetic.

I saw someone asked about Tens and I’ve posted about this elsewhere but look into SCENAR therapy. It hasn’t eliminated my neuropathy but has dramatically improved it. I’d say 50-70 percent better!

I've been told by my doctor that at best acupuncture is only temporary.
