Possibly: The answer depends on whom you ask. Acupuncture is outside the realm of conventional medicine, but some studies have shown good results with it. Others have shown minimal correlation with treatment. Some of my patients swear by it. Others thought it a huge waste of time and money.

Acupuncture will not: Cure a herniated or bulging disc nor will it correct a bony entrapment. However, it can markedly improve pain, range of motion, inflammation & circulation of the surrounding tissues. Most people would not voluntarily have multiple needles stuck into them if there wasn't a benefit.
