I don't know if acupuncture genuinely works or not - but I know a local practitioner caused a longer delay in correcting my sciatic nerve condition by claiming he could fix it with acupuncture.
Unknown to me at the time, I had all the classic symptoms of a pinched sciatic nerve - and the acupunturist claimed he could fix it with a few treatments. Obviously, it just got worse...to the point I finally went to my family doctor, had an MRI done - and had it properly fixed with back surgery.
Had the asshat been honest, he would've recognized the signs, admitted there was nothing he could do...and sent me immediately to my doctor. Instead, he milked the treatments and benefit payments and prolonged my chronic pain.
Consequently, it'll be a frosty day in hell before I ever consider acupuncture treatment for anything down the road.
