I find Accupuncture relieves the stress and anxiety so you feel better; chiropractor helps to relieve the back as many folks sit for long periods of time.

I don't know that there are any scientific studies that show that acupuncture has any benefit in COPD, but I do know people who visit an acupuncturist regularly and feel they get benefit from the treatment. I don't know of anyone who can talk about fewer meds or increased FEV1 or less O2 usage, but people do say they feel better in general, have more energy and can do more after a treatment than before.
