I see the accupuncturist once every 4-5 weeks for chronic foot pain ( neuropathy) and it helps. But she also has given me a small device with small pricks on the end of a 8 inch wand which I can use to stick whatever is hurting so much at night or the end of the day. Allows me to use self-accupuncture between visits. I also use recreational THC-CBD / 100:100 . I try to get in at least 4000 steps daily to keep my feet from being burning or numb.
