My wife had it every few months for a couple of years - quite painful during the procedure (apparently it's fairly common for patients to pass out), but she says she felt better after. A lot of experts are a bit skeptical about whether it helps long term (in the long run most back pain resolves on its own regardless of what type of treatment is used), and placebo-controlled clinical trials haven't shown a convincing benefit yet - but it's still fairly new and I don't think anything has been settled conclusively either way.
