Mercyland - my father had Parkinson's Disease and they sent him for accupuncture. I am talking over 30 years ago, when accupuncturists were hard to find. It really helped him for his tremors, but he stopped going after a while because he had to travel 50 miles one way to get there. Also my daughter had accupuncture for her carpel tunnel, and that worked really well, she did not need surgery after that. That is my only experience with accupuncture.
