I've had great success using acupuncture over the past 14 years to manage issues related to my pouch and Crohns as well as overall health.

Has anyone else used acupuncture?

I've had success using acupuncture, mainly for pain management. I did find it beneficial for my overall well being though, especially my mood (perhaps the mood elevation was due to the minimization of pain). However, I found that my success was tied to the practitioner. I had one absolutely fantastic one and three duds.

I used it for pain relief and was quiet pleased. I'll go back again if I ever need to!

I've developed crohn's arthritis in a huuuge way, and i've been going to physio for the past 3 weeks. The accupuncture seems to be the only think helping me with that.
