I had back surgery 22 months ago and I still have serious back problems as well as numbness in my right leg. I can only walk so far and can t climb stairs. An acupuncturist tells me I have encapsulated nerves and with proper massaging of back side nerves and on lmy leg she tells me she can restore my facilities. Does that sound reasonable?

Hi,
As per your description, it shows you have nerve compression mostly. It can be relieved either by physiotherapy out surgical treatment.
Acupuncture therapy is one type of physiotherapy modification with massage of a particular area. Though it does not guarantee how much you will benefit but surely I can say it will give you relief. So continue it and have faith. It infested tone of muscle and relieve nerve compression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
