Has anyone tried acupuncture for neuropathy??
My husband has non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy. He has tried many things, but we’re wondering now about Acupuncture has anyone tried it and with what success?
His legs are not in pain. They are uncomfortable and twitchy as he tries to go to sleep at night and continues during the daytime.

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.
