Hi Chi1504, I did do Acupuncture for my tension headaches which proved for me

to be in a calming state during the sessions. Not only did it help with headaches

but also my anxiety at the time. :) xx

I have used acupuncture for back pain and ITB tendon pain (the tendon that runs along the outside of your leg.) I also used acupuncture for sinus infections while pregnant with both children, which helped quite a bit. I believe it is helpful for many things, and I can see it working for generalized anxiety disorder. Make sure you use an excellent Acupuncturist.

It definitely helped me. I will tell you that finding the right practitioner makes all the difference - and it took time before it had a lasting impact, but I definitely felt better after each session for a while, starting with 2 x weekly, then once a week and then off for a while. I've been struggling again lately and just decided to go back again. :-)
