Nancy - I had exactly the opposite results - accupuncture didn't help at
all. Physical therapy got my hand working again. Go figure. Ann

Kris and Carolyn,

I have had relief from my pins & needles from acupuncture. After
inserting
the needles, they attach electrodes to the needles to stimulate them to
increase the beneficial effects. In olden days, they would turn the
needles.
It is not uncommon for Chiropractors to be certified in acupuncture.
They
tend to be more open minded about alternative medicines than do Drs. It
sounds to me Kris that you had some sort of electrical stimulation. I
had a
similar jerking reaction in my foot in my first session. I went about 4
times, and the parathesis in my arms went away. I have stopped
temporarily,
until the Drs can figure out what type of diagnosis they want to give
me. I
also tried physical therapy too, in the hopes that I could ward off or
relieve
the parathesis on my own. Did not work at all. Hope I have helped out
some.

Nancy
