A high school friend of mine graduated from Harvard Medical School. Later he discovered acupuncture and went into that. He keeps his MD license so he can write some scripts. If he thinks it works, I think it works. My ex found a good practitioner and I saw her for wrist pain from riding motorcycles. The pain was gone for two weeks, then progressively came back. I've tried it with another, but to no avail. So, I think the practitioner matters.

My friend said the "old school" Constitutional practitioners treat the underlying problem vs the symptom. The post-Mao style practitioners treat the symptoms instead. I asked him once if he can treat migranes and he said so far he's had success with every case. He's been in Seattle for a long time, so I haven't seen him for decades.
