acupuncture with wrist sprain?? newbie, please advise

[Mt]

I sprained my wrist nearly 4 months ago, and have re-aggrivated it. I've had multiple x-rays and
it's not broken so I've been icing it and taking it easy but it still bothers me. I'm an active
person who plays basketball, softball and working out so it's obviously not allowing me to do things
that I love. is acupuncture a possible solution to faster recovery?? one of my friends suggested it
but I don't know much about it. I live in the bay area (CA), if anyone has suggestions I'd love to
hear them. thanks in advance. Matt

Yes, it is a _Possible_ solution.

In your area, there are probably a few hundred licensed Acupuncturists. Why not call one and ask if
they have experience treating your condition?
