My husband has tried acupuncture for Parkinson's-related pain and muscle spasms and has found it to be very useful. It does, however, seem to temporarily aggravate (for a couple of hours following the acupuncture session) his tremors which are pretty bad before they are aggravated. My husband had previously used acupuncture for migraine headaches and found it helpful. I would suggest finding a Chinese-trained acupuncturist. There seems to be quite a bit of variation in acupuncturists' competency/professionalism.
