Tried it 3 or 4 times. May have helped once. Two of those times were the same Chinese acupunturist/herbalist. The first time with him it seemed to have some minimal benfit; a year or two later when I went back it didn't seem to help.
But check out Christine's posts below. I may not have been treated often enough or long enough to show any results. Let us know how it goes.
It seemed that the Chinese doctor put needles in more places, like the pressure points in the feet, that the subsequent guy didn't. Also, he had them hooked up to electricity & the juice was turned up pretty high. Often the needles don't hurt at all, but sometimes they hurt quite a bit. Maybe a one on Kip scale.
Good luck for your husband & you.
