Is Acupuncture Treatment Advisable For Pain Caused Due To Bulging Disc?

Hello-i have a bulging disc and pinched nerve in c5. I have pain in my neck, left shoulder, arm and hand with numbness in thumb and forefinger. I will start physical therapy next week, but the pain is constant and wears me out. Would acupuncture provide pain relief?
