Question
Heather,
I suffer from familial tremors and the medications that have been prescribed to me by my primary care physician, primarily beta-blockers, were worse that the tremors. Could acupuncture relieve any of these tremors?
Hi Ron,
Familial Tremors should be treatable with acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. If you can't tolerate the meds I would definitely go that route. Look for someone board certified. A listing of board certified acupuncturist is at NCCAOM.org
Warm Regards,
