Please tell me can electroacupuncture improve or worsen disc disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acupuncture: Acupuncture with electric stimulation can decrease inflammation, improve blood circulation & lymphatic drainage with decreased pain in area around the disc. However, the acupuncture will not cure/ fix the disc itself.
