I have not personally tried acupuncture, but I have a number of friends
who have, and they all report good results with one caveat. You need
to find a VERY GOOD acupuncturist for this to work. A RN who has taken
a quickie course won't do (nothing against RN's). The underlying
concepts of acupuncture are quite divergent from Western medical
thought. Try to find a good Oriental practitioner, or at least
someone who has studied the field years, not months. I ran across a visiting
Aussie gent who was quite well versed in the field, so resource persons
are where you find 'em.

Shop around.
