Whatever it does, it works. Electroacupunture is amazing as well.

When I 1st started, I thought he was only working on my back & hand, didn't know that he was working on my lungs too, then went a week that we didn't work on the lungs (I didn't know this at the time) and I starting having trouble breathing again. Didn't really thing anything of it until the doc asked how I was feeling and I said that I had had a breathing episode , and he said we would work on my breathing again, and low & behold, I have been much better. Point is, I didn't know (or think) it would help my breathing when I started, I had other issues I was worried about at the time.
I had had a nerve acting up, and couldn't straighten my left index finger, my regular doctor wasn't to help, but after a few acupuncture treatments, I had most of the use of the finger back. And I pay for this out of pocket.
