I don't know about yelp reviews or what people think and how right or wrong they are (some people believe that doggy style sex makes boy children...), I like the scientific method, you have a theory - you test it and then make your decision based on the result. So far there have been number of clinical trials done to test the validity of acupuncture and the only thing that comes out of it is that it only helps because of the placebo effect. So if you strongly believe it's going to help you then go ahead and it probably will, otherwise it's a waste of time and money.
