Will acupuncture work on a trick thumb?

Answer by  informant31 (510)

Acupuncture is more commonly used to relieve subjective symptoms such as pain or nausia. It is not used to cure. Though many doctors use acupuncture to treat patients, it is not scientifically proven to work for everyone.

Acupuncture only helps to treat the pain of a thumb issue in most cases. Since this is an alternative medical treatment, one should seek a traditional medical opinion for a more long term solution to this issue. There could be an inflammation of tissue in the joint causing problems for the patient.
