A member asked:
Is acupuncture a reliable form of treatment for parkinson's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adjunct: I located one auricular acupuncture protocol for tremors related to parkinsons. However, it is important to clarify that in some cases acupuncture is treating specific symptoms due to a disorder and is not curing the actual disorder. (for some conditions it is curative). I would not use acupuncture as a stand- alone treatment for parkinsons. Talk to your doctor about using it as an adjunct.
