Yes it does work for: Many conditions. Menieres may respond to acupuncture - but don't get your hopes up too high. Tinnitus and vertigo can be helped w acupuncture (but it is an area where I have seen only marginal improvement). But then again, i still have much to learn as an acupuncturist. Tennis elbow. According to world health organization based on studies with controlled clinical trials, acupuncture is effective.
