Running and acupuncture

"Impossible is not a fact. Its an opinion." -Muhammad Ali

Yesterday I went for a session of acupuncture,  my first ever session. I went partly because a work colleague recommended it and also because I could claim back the cost. It felt strange and I'm not sure if it made any difference. 

Does anyone have any experience of using acupuncture? I didn't really have anything to cure but just went for a relaxation and maybe to release tension or chi to maybe help recovery between runs. If it helps by taking full advantage of rest then I'll maybe go fortnightly.
