After spending a lot of time and money on different treatments including laser therapy, Acupuncture has been the only modality helping me with my intense feet pain. I couldn't even walk before Acupuncture. My 24/7 numbness and tingling continue as always. I still having pain, but the debilitating pain is under control. The first month I received treatment weekly then every 2 weeks, now I'm having it monthly. If I have an exacerbation of pain, I call my acupuncturist. Is very important to verify the Acupuncture Physician credentials and previous patients reviews. Not all Acupuncturists have the same education and treatment approach.

Hi, @chabela, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for sharing this positive treatment experience with acupuncture for your foot pain.

Will you share more about what the acupuncturist does during your sessions? How quickly after starting this therapy were you feeling some relief?

Hi Chabela, Can you share with us what was causing the intense pain in your feet? Glad you got some relief with acupuncture.
