I'm guessing that it was skeletal issue? If so I can't comment.

If muscular (what I have) then yes it can help. Most folks that I've talked to regarding acupuncture have had great success. I did something called IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) see: http://www.intramuscularstimulation.com/2.htm for digest write up.

Some prelim info for you, I'm not an expert just a patient. FWIW I will try Chinese Acupuncture next time, due to rave reviews by many with the same affliction.
