That is : Something that I have treated a number of times. If there is an underlying problem causing the dystonia - it needs to be addressed. The acupuncture can help with pain, inflammation and range of motion but won't cure an underlying anatomical problem.

Could help: Shouldn't make it worse that I am aware of. But always make sure the person is certified and has formal training to do acupuncture.
