Acupuncture as supplementary Parkinson's treatment

Hello!
I've just joined the Parkinson's group as a friend of mine is going through it. I was wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture as it is a safe treatment for nerve and mobility problems without side effects. My friend has just started acupuncture since medication dosage started to increase and it affected her daily lifestyle and acupuncture was suggested to her.
I myself had a few health issues and acupuncture definitely helped.
Thank you
BB

Hi, @bb1956 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That's really nice of you to join the Connect Parkinson's support group since a friend of yours has Parkinson's.

You will note I moved your post here in the Parkinson's support group. I thought the members in this discussion on acupuncture as a supplementary treatment for Parkinson's may have some thoughts for you on its use for nerve and mobility problems with this disease.

When was your friend diagnosed, bb1956? How has the acupuncture gone for your friend so far?

My husband tried it and it didn’t work at all. And He didn’t like it.
