Question
Please can you tell me if acupuncture can stop an essential tremor? I am a thirty five year old male and developed it about four months ago.I have drank alot of alchol over the years,do you think this caused it?

Answer
Hi,
The tremor could have been caused by the alcohol. I have been able to help people with essential tremors previously.  Because you are still young and it hasn't been going on for long.  You have a good chance that Acupuncture could help.

Good Luck,
