From what I've been told it doesn't work, but I'm all for holistic healing - so if you are having issues with numbness I would try a few more sessions and see if you notice any tingling/itching after. It can't hurt, but is probably costly over time if your insurance isn't paying.

Accupuncture after surgery

I did like 10 sessions 2-3 months past my surgery to try to lesson the numbness. It didn't work. My surgeon thought it was a silly idea. Plus, having needles put into that area is not pleasant.
