That's the thing with accupuncture, in my experience, it can help with certain things, but ONLY so long as you keep doing it.

I had a mortons neroma on my foot, accupuncture was amazing, shrunk the tumor and helped with pain but the minute I stopped it grew back in size and pain.

Too expensive to maintain so eventually I had surgery to remove it.

Kinda like chiropractors, lol. I always feel better after going but it never cures me. However I will always continue to go to maintain my health as it definately helps me.

It's kinda a crap shoot, you just gotta try and see what works for you.
