Has anyone tried acupuncture for neuropathy??

I found it helpful for my numb feet.

I've had dry needling for relaxing muscles of my jaw from TMJ stress. Worked great.

Has he tried Cymbalta - that stopped my legs being uncomfortable and twitchy; as did exercise, strength training in my legs i.e., squats, lunges, etc.

I tried about 5 treatments, but did not have any significant relief.

What your husband may have is called Restless Leg Syndrome. It can be treated with good success with a drug called Pramipexole. I have had it for over 50 years and this drug definitely helps. Ask your doctor about it.

I did accupuncture for months and it did take care of the pain but I still have numbness.

I tried it for months, too. My heat sensations went away while I was being treated, but returned shortly after I left the office:(.

It’s a relaxing treatment but relatively ineffective. I’ve had it dozens of times with no real benefit. A waste of money too.

My doctor said that at best it's only temporary, and insurance won't cover the expenses.

I find myself normally against acupuncture. However blanket claims about it seem a bit problematic. There are no requirements for claiming to be an acupuncturist. So many people claim the title but have not been properly trained. A well trained acupuncturist will train under an established institution not associated with chiropracters. Proper training takes years under the eye of a well established training institution. Be careful who you select and who claims to conduct acupuncture. BTW are all doctors the same? Should we claim that all physicians are the same?

I tried it 4 times. It made me feel temporarily relaxed but wasn’t enough relief to continue treatments.
