I bet it does. Those needles look sharp enough to puncture the hell out of you.

I've shared on here before that post-stroke I was unable to access physical or occupational therapy because of the pandemic shut down and all the fear
plus that I was expected to make the appointments myself and get myself there and it was just something I wasn't able to do
but about year and a half, two years after the stroke I found an acupuncturist that used electrical currents combined with acupuncture and that stuff did to some extent save the muscles on my right side and allow me to make the progress I've made without medical supervision

I believe you, and that’s cool as shite.

Nothing like a sharp needle to get you in gear.
Seriously though, I believe it works, even though I've never had it.
When my shoulder hurts really bad, there is a certain place on my wrist where I can apply slight pressure and it will ease the pain for a bit.
No idea how it works.

I recently had it done for sciatica pain. If you get it done prepare to be sore af for 3 or 4 days. It releases all the built-up toxins in your body. The procedure itself does not hurt, but it helps
If you're like me, I like to try new experiences in my life. Kind of exotic

I had a full labrum tear in my shoulder.
Acupuncture really helped me out with maintaining range of motion and pain management until I was able to have surgery.

I like dry needling much better

It does for a lot of things. We don’t necessarily understand the “why,” which gets certain panties in a wad, but it clearly works for many issues.

My wife is going through chemotherapy right now which has caused tremendous neuropathy in her feet. The pain was to a point where she could not even put on shoes or socks, let alone walk. Her oncologist at MD Anderson suggested acupuncture as a drug-free aid and it has done wonders for her. She is now able to walk again and even asked to go walk in the park across from our place in Houston. When we moved here from Louisiana for her treatment, I brought a wheelchair because I thought I would be pushing her everywhere but now she’s able to walk to all of her appointments.

I suspect it's largely (maybe even entirely) psychosomatic.

I have had a trainer/PT treat my tight hamstrings using what he called “dry needling” which amounted to sticking in my muscles some long needles that looked a lot like acupuncture needles, and then running electric current through them. I was skeptical but it did seem to help.

It absolutely works.
For me, it was extremely relaxing.

Didn’t for the tinnitus.

Your suspicion doesn’t explain its high success rates for correcting breached fetuses, among other things

I didn’t believe in it until I had dry needling, which derives from acupuncture. That shite did wonders for my knee, shoulders, neck, and back.
