I have had acupuncture treatments many times for many different types of problems, sometimes they help, sometimes they don't. What helps me the most is my chiropractic treatments, I seem to get more of a relief from them than anything else.
Oh, about the acupuncture, the ones that do help the most are the "electronic" type, the doctor puts "leads" on the inserted needles and turns on a machine until you feel a slight pulsation, for me, this is the best type of acupuncture and most relaxing as well.

I went for 2 full cycles with 2 different doctors and did not get relief. I have had cronic back pain from a work injury for over 15 years ago. Steroid shots and medication are the only things that have helped me. I will however say that a friend of my has gotten a lot of relief from accupuncture, therefore, it truly is specific to the person, the injury and the doctor's expertise. I will try just about anything to control the pain. You really have nothing to loose.
