Painful tmj.... does acupuncture help?!

Painful tmj.... does acupuncture help?

I got tmj 6 months ago. It's painful on my right side, i can't protrude or open more than 20mm. I've been to the ortho specialist and I've tried a night guard, hot packs, cold packs, massage, body posture techniques, working out, not working out, eating only soft foods, stretching, just about everything I can think of.. I've been thinkin of trying acupuncture... anyone hear anything good about it or have any other advice? Would appreciate it, Thanks!

You should absolutly try acupuncture. I was suppose to have a surgery to remove half of my brain because half of it was infected and it would have spread to the other side if they didn't. My parents didn't want to do it so they tried acupuncture and it stop the infection from spreading and stop the seizures i had been having for 4 years. It a lot of things.
