I've been told to try acupuncture for anxiety and tension. Can anyone attest to this actually helping?

Thanks

Traditional chinese acupuncture ( not acupuncture done by a chiropractor or suchlike) really benefitted me. Ideally they need to have trained 6 to 7 years in China. Don't confuse a true acupuncturist with those who have just done short courses. That will not benefit you.

Yes, I started 3 weeks ago and the changes are happening already,. After avoiding all social situations, because of anxiety and panic, for the last 4 years already in the last 3 weeks I been out to eat, went to a nieces bday meal and a quiz night. I don't know how it works but it is 😀. I would research the practitioners first though and find out if they understand anxiety. Give it a try, Good luck
