I don't know about acupuncture, but I swear by acupressure (same principle but you apply pressure to certain points on your body using your fingers and/or thumbs).
I have angina, which frequently produces excrutiating chest pains and although nitro pills/spray relieve the pain, they also give me pretty bad headaches. A friend of mine, a chiropractor, suggested acupressure and gave me the relevant charts and instructions.
The best spot of all is on my back and it is amazing how fast the pain goes away when my better half is handy to apply pressure there. Of the two spots I can reach myself, one (near my wrist) rarely helps, but the other (between my ribs) is effective at limiting the amount of pain and slowly reducing it. And all without any negative side effects...
