Have had it several times. The latest was for some severe tendinitis in my forearm. Had major pain for a month. Doctors wanted to do cortazone shots. I went to my accupuncture gal and after 1 session I had 75% less pain within 12 hours. . Fully pain free within 4 days. Other areas it has worked well for is wrist, back, and elbow. $25-$50 per visit. Does not hurt at all. It can kind of freak you out when a needle goes into one part of the body yet you feel a sensation in a totally different area. Don't go to anyone who claims they can do it with a laser or some other ooddball light source they claim will work the same. I fell for that scam years ago. Got my money back so it was not a big deal.
