If you tried it, did it work for you? My husband is thinking of going this route instead of surgery.

I tried it after my the first ct release on my left hand. I had complications from that surgery and was trying everything to get better. Went for accupuncture for approximately 6 weeks...3 x a week as it was supposed to reduce scar tissue and inflammation. It didn't do anything for me. I had a second surgery done....my hand will never be 100% or even what it was before surgery.

I don't know if it would help as a first resort though....like before a surgery.
I think I would try cold laser treatments before acupuncture though. I've heard of a couple of people that that helped.
