(WARNING: ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE HERE!) :P it certainly was better than ibuprofen for me! :7

Honestly, after having a repetitive stress injury bordering on carpal tunnel in my hands and forearms, and having sat at the computer with tears running down my cheeks because of the sharp shooting pains in my arms, and after having no relief with prescription drugs (including ibuprofen) from my MD and the neurologist he sent me to, and after going on workman's compensation (and almost having to stop work) and having the Dr. tell me that he was considering SURGERY -- well, when I went to the acupuncturist for the first time I would have tried anything. But damn if it didn't work! and in less than two weeks! after I'd been in HELL for months!

Now, of course, everyone will tell me that it's anecdotal evidence and therefore doesn't count, but it saved me from surgery. So, my experience, plus the studies I have found on the internet, tell me that it works.
