Acupuncture for SCI


Hello Guys
Has anyone out there (or their partner) tried Acupuncture regularly for their SCI? My husband has electro-acupuncture twice per week and finds that it relaxes him and has helped him to regain some sensation in his legs. Acupuncture is something that is cumulative - so it helps to maintain the flow of energy to the legs and body parts. Electro-acupuncture helps to stimulate nerve responses and connect the mind to the body.
Does anyone else out there have any experience with Acupuncture they would like to share or what has worked for them in these appointments?
