How Can Alternative Medicine Help Pain?

Theories differ on how long acupuncture has been around, but this ancient Chinese healing art has been in use for at least 2,000 years.

The practice involves inserting hair-thin needles into various points on the skin in an attempt to regulate movement within the body’s meridian system. Numerous studies have confirmed acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating pain, and the World Health Organization includes pain on its list of conditions for which acupuncture is beneficial.
