Like all things: you get good practicioners and not so good ones. Good ones can be very good (open surgery without anaesthetic - just acupuncture - can't lie.

Did acupuncture three times a week while in acute rehab and twice weekly ever since (currently about one year post injury) Yes, it helps with a number of things, including pain and spasms. You need to find someone that has experience with treating spinal cord injury patients and knows how to do electro-acupuncture.
