Another poster here, in support of Acupuncture.
In conjunction with other treatments, I received acupuncture 2x/week for herniated and degenerative discs (2 herniated, 2 more degenerating). Doctors told me I'd never row again.
I can't say for sure what helped, but I do know that my grandfather, a retired neurosurgeon, is the one who convinced me to seek acupuncture, and I'm so glad I did. If it's covered, even partially, by insurance, why not at least try it?
I would also add that my acupuncturist was able to work his magic with, on average, 5-7 needles per session (occasionally he'd add one if I had an unrelated issue, like a headache or something).
