It’s a four thousand year old scam. I’d save your money.

My mom tried it.

She decided it was an “if you believe it will help, and you're not really all that sick” it will work. If not, just go get yourself some medical help.

I’ve tried it and it has helped with various things. What are you thinking of using it for?

My mom had it done. It worked for her pain.

If you are having it for any reason besides pain I have no idea.

I tried it for arthritis. It was some help; a masseuse who knew what she was about was considerably more help.

This is going to sound like a “Chinese Food” joke...but I went for a session when I had a really bad back. It worked for about 45 minutes.

I *do* believe there are a number of things it is very good for, but I don’t know what that list of things is!

It worked for me, by some odd reason. Lower back stuff and never had any discomfort/pain for weeks. Weird.

it helped me with some minor recurring pains. certainly not a cureall. my acupuncturist used to be a licensed social worker so seeing him for a treatment was also seeing a shrink at the same time.

Yes, but does it help with using the keyboard shift key?

I tried it as some of my circle of friends swore by it, and they are not liars like Democrats. It worked for my lower back pain. The weird part surfer dudes I hung out with when I’m at the beach knew the same acupuncturist so why not?
