Hi Dizzydoll,

As far as I am aware, acupunture has only been proven to be beneficial for back/neck pain on the NHS. I have had acupunture for both anxiety and back/neck pain in the past (not NHS). It helped a bit in the short term but if I'm honest it had no long term effects, but everyone's different!

Good luck.

Massages work better for me for both my back and anxiety.
