I've been twice so far, so it's too soon to tell. My accupuncturist also has Crohn's, so I think that helps a lot. I enjoy it; it's relaxing. I look forward to my appointments.

It could help in the sense that it can reduce stress. I think it is best thought of as a possible complimentary treatment, not a primary one.

The effects are temporary according to a Chiropractor I asked.

Just giving you an update, I had my first treatment last week, and I felt 50% better for the first week, I just had my 2nd treatment this afternoon, I will keep updating this link on the progress for the next 4 - 6 weeks.

I have also been on remicade for almost 1 year and the acupuncture was a noticable difference for the better. I am also taking chinese herbs from the acupuncturist aswell.
