Not a cure: Myotonia is a specific form of muscle disorder where the muscle goes into a spasm and very slowing relaxes. It may be caused by toxic effects, medication effects, or genetic disorders. Acupuncture may help relax the involved muscle and help teach the patient how to control the spasms. But it will not cure the underlying cause.

Acupuncture: I concur with dr. Goldie. Acupuncture may be very beneficial to your friend but it will not cure his problem.
