Hi would briefly like to add my thoughts on this as am interested trying this myself since surgery and r/t was a while ago mind but still get niggles and mental health flare ups which I read acupuncture might help about what happened however the CCG no longer supports it (was part of hospitals physio dept) but getting back to the question and sounds a good idea and hope it works for you 
So instead I tried Reiki a few times and it was great after lumpectomy surgery and the r/t to help quieten down all the stuff that goes on after so that might be something else to try if you can find an experienced qualified therapist? I hope this make sense am on autistic spectrum so high functioning knowledge is there but it gets muddled putting words into order that others can follow! Best wishes
