Get the point?: The fact that the practice of acupuncture has been around for about 2000 years pretty much validates the evidence of being beneficial. Despite the results of a multitude of studies designed to validate the benefits, patients still seek help and are thankful for the relief received from acupuncturists.

Benefits: Yes, Although acupuncture is not likely to be a "cure" for your specific medical problems, there is a good likelihood that it would be a beneficial adjunct to your treatment. It is beneficial for sleep disturbances, pain and decreased range of motion with arthritis/ osteoarthritis and can help with chronic fatigue.
