As I may have mentioned, I've had very good results from acupuncture for pain, and also for the concussion sequelae.
One of the things with acupuncture clinics though is that they don't want to give you a session and then see you again the next time you have a problem. They want you to sign up to go every week for weeks. But usually you don't need to -- usually with nerve stuff, one session will do a lot, and then a second will sort it out. I've had a lot of acupuncture partly out of the belief that if two sessions does all this if I keep going my leg will just get better and I'll be able to run, but in fact it isn't magic and doesn't work that way.
So these days I'm firm and make two appointments, and that's what I'd suggest. $120 to be sleeping properly? Well worth it. (With the concussion I had three, because they wanted me to have a third to "put my head and body back in alignment" -- that third session made me so stoned I walked out without paying and came home with my t-shirt on backwards and slept all afternoon. I don't know if my head and body were aligned, but I haven't had a problem since.)
