I have a friend who swears by it for his PN, gets a treatment once a week and it helps with his pain. I agree with the previous posters, it helps symptoms and isn't a cure. But getting some level of relief can be worth it, in my opinion, that's why I get massage once or twice a month.

A pain doc I'm seeing has said he's seen folks have good results with Chinese five-element acupuncture, and has recommended an acupuncturist for me to try. He also thinks it's good for general health. I gather the results can vary depending on the person you work with, so even though I've tried two others, I'm going to give this one a try also.
