I have been getting acupuncture for about a year and it is the only thing that has helped me. I have tried every medication and had a spinal steroid shot and either the pills did nothing or gave me bad side effects and the shot did nothing as well. I am lucky to have found a wonderful acupuncturist provider who believes that nerves can heal. I go every other week and my insurance pays a portion.

Yes, I did it for 6 months!!! Very expensive and didn't help me at all.
But that's just me.. good luck!

I've had ONE acupuncturist really help me. In 2 treatments he made my hyperhidrosis completely go away for 2 months, but I've never found anyone else who was as skilled. He believed the deep muscles around my bones were pinching my nerves so he put needles in my thigh to my bone (like 2" deep) and I felt electrical signals when he did this, but then my muscles relaxed and I felt significant improvement..

I have started acupuncture and am getting some relief for the ankles to knees pain I get when I go to bed. I am a skeptic, so I am not yet convinced that there is a cause/effect link.

I don't have any pain, just numbness in feet and toes. I also get cramps fairly regularly. Went to accupuncture sessions once a week for close to a year with no results. When I started having vertigo while on the table, I had to give it up

My friend tried that & it gave him some relief from the pain. Than his person doing acupuncture moved away. My fried went back to his Summer home & I haven’t been in contact with him.

I have non-diabetic neuropathy and currently using acupuncture for muscle spasms and it seems to be effective for me.

I was wondering if anyone has had success using acupuncture for neuropathy symptoms.
I started to go and found I did experience short lived positive results, maybe a day or two. I couldn’t afford to continue going twice a week. Maybe the results are cumulative had I continued. Should be covered by insurance if results are proven effective.

It’s the peroneal nerve which is my problem so can’t cut as a motor nerve. I have acupuncture periodically when my pain has been intense and it helps me. She gently rubs the nerve up & down with her hands first and then she applies the acupuncture needles. In for about 10 mins I think

I have chemo-induced neuropathy in both hands and feet. I got absolutely no relief from the common neuropathy medications like gabapentin and lyrica. I subsequently tried multiple acupuncture treatments and also had absolutely no relief. Previously I was skeptical of acupuncture therapy, however while receiving the acupuncture treatments, I did receive improvement in other health related aspects. Much improved sleep and other relieving aspects. I would say that the treatment is absolutely worth trying.
