They are not *real* needles - they are super fine, like EMG needles. You barely feel them. I had it for smking - my company was paying, so what the heck? I was skeptical, but a day off? Sure...



I walked out of the doc's office and did not smoke for a few weeks - from a pack a day. And this wasn't even a specialist - just my PCP.




So not a cure, but a help.

Can't say what it would do for pain or other symptoms, but it can't hurt. I'd go. In fact, I should see if my ins would pay. I'd try it.
