Acupuncture works by releasing endorphins. In fact it can be blocked by Naloxone.
If you are experiencing weakness, multiple causes can contribute.
Vascular, Spinal Stenosis, Disc compression. I highly advise to go see a doctor.
Have them perform a neurological, ABI, perhaps a NCT/EMG and MRI. (Electrolytes, dehydration, low blood sugar are obviously less concerning).
DO NOT WAIT -it could become permanent

I'm treating someone right now for leg weakness. Check back with me in a month and I'll let you know how it went. Otherwise, I'd check with your local practitioner to see if they've had any experience with treating it.

Depends what is the cause of leg weakness. Consultation with L. Ac will help you to get answer.

Probably not. Physical therapy is much better.
Yes, acupuncture can help weak leg muscles.
Usually, yes, acupuncture can help with weak muscles. You likely won't notice immediate results, but given a few weeks of treatment, patients can typically tell the difference. Very helpful if you integrate acupuncture with some sort of weight training or athletic/personal trainer in this case.
