Has anyone tried acupuncture for neuropathy?

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.

Oh, and the pain relief was not temporary - I haven't had an acupuncture treatment in almost 3 years.

just wondering how often you had a treatment?
