Good Morning! Does Anyone Have Experience With Acupuncture For Chronic Pain?

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My 91 year-old MIL came to live with us recently. She's at stage 5-6 Alzheimer's and has chronic pain from lumbar spinal stenosis.

My LO has chronic pain in her back (two fusions, stenosis). She had acupuncture in January and it helped. She is taking less pain meds. Our insurance/medicare paid for it.

Yes it could be helpful. It would not cure the problem but I might help reduce chronic pain.
