I'm sorry that you didn't realize any benefit from your single acupuncture treatment. Interesting though that your GP would recommend that over conventional surgery or NA.

NA is great, however, the disease continues and returns and NA will undoubtedly be needed again. Probably one of the best solutions for most people though, I agree. A single acupuncture treatment does nothing though. I received acupuncture weekly for a few months then gradually brought it back to monthly and continued that for nearly 5 years. When I saw that my Dupuytren's was still very slowly, gradually worsening, I researched radiation more and chose that. Luckily I was a good candidate and my first trreatment actually made one nodule disappear and after my second treatment my hard cords are returning to normal, the remaining nodules are softening and shrinking and my hand can now expand almost back to normal.
I only expected at best that further progression would cease but my condition is actually reversing; to some degree anyway.

So I agree with you that acupuncture doesn't appear to cure this but for me and for others, it does seem to have some effect. But many, many, continuous treatments are required and, I agree, it may not work at all for you. Same as the radiation research shows, some people had no benefit at all. Each situation seems to be unique to a degree. If there was one perfect solution this forum would not exist.

By the way, NA was developed in France but apparently works on either side of the ocean. Just because acupuncture was developed and used for thousands of years in China doesn't mean crossing a border or an ocean stops it from working. Apparently even your own GP felt it was legitimate and worth a try. Congratulations on your good results from the NA.

"wach " Why said that ther is no effect. Infect now a days people go for which give less pain feel and pain relief in sort period and acupuncture is a way to use.
