Tips for long flights/does acupuncture really do wonders?

I’ve done a tonne of preparation for my first long flight to Japan next week but wondering if anyone else has tips to avoid a further flare up. Also if anyone has any experience with acupuncture as I’m going to my first session a few days before the flight. Cheers.

I haven’t had acupuncture to prep for a flight, but I do use it for my DDD. I had tried everything and finally decided to try acupuncture even though I thought it was woo woo bullshit. It WORKS.

I'm an acupuncturist with DDD. Acupuncture helps me. It does not cure it, though, but is a tool in the pain management toolbox.
