Acupuncture?

[MLC1972]

Has anyone had good results with acupuncture?

Yes!! Specialist physio did my knees . Over three years ago and I'm still not back to the agony of before . He did quite a few sessions them if I remember a few more six month later I think.

So yes I would recommend a nhs specialist .

I found acupuncture very relaxing and acupressure massage really helpful for my knees in that I think it improved the blood flow but that was all. It did not help with inflammation.

My back went into a severe spasm and it really helped at the time.

I was wondering about it specifically for flares.

I have had great success with acupuncture, you will have to find a good acupuncturist. Not all are equal.

I did acupuncture for 5 years.I only stopped because of financial reasons.Very important to find a well qualified acupuncturist.

I think acupuncture is the bees-knees!

I had a course of 12 sessions for my knees about 10yrs ago, at a cost of £250.the NHS here doesn't offer it. It has been pretty good so far but have to keep exercising.

Thank you all! I have an appointment tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Update: I have had considerable relief with acupuncture. My hand feels better than it has in months.
