After asking him some questions about how long he has been feeling this way, and taking his pulse to detect "a weak kidney which is impacting your liver functions", he went for the needles. I think he put in about 16 needles in all, and Patrick says he really didn't feel most of them - except one or two. We even went back a couple of days later for another treatment.
Not sure if the thing actually worked or not - his back still hurts - but we might try to find a accupuncturist in Strasbourg for cheap fun.
