I don’t know how it works for nervousness, but I used it for a wrist injury that was diagnosed as a sprain, but didn’t heal and became quite painful. It became about 90% painless after treatment.

The Principles of Acupuncture
The Chinese believe that the human body has 12 main points of intersection through
which the natural energy of the body flows. This energy is referred as qi (or chi).
When energy flows freely throughout the body you experience health. Illness, or
depression, would indicate a blocked or insufficient flow of energy.
The purpose of acupuncture treatment for depression is to help restore the proper
flow of qi so the body can function properly.
An interpretation of all this, in the language of Western science, is that it helps
to stimulate the central nervous system. Acupuncture treatment releases endorphins,
the body\’s pain-relieving chemicals.
Acupuncture\’s ability to release endorphins may be one of the main ways it can help
relieve depression. These chemical messengers may stimulate the body\’s natural
healing mechanisms to help restore normal mood.
How many sessions do I have to have before I will feel better? The answer to this depends very heavily on the nature of the problem. To give acupuncture enough time to build on itself and do its work, often 4- 6visits are required. Recent problems and new symptoms can usually see improvement within the first few treatments, while long standing disorders often take longer for optimal results.
