Do you suffer from chronic pain? Maybe acupuncture is just what the doctor ordered. Millions of people say that acupuncture has alleviated their suffering and boosted their bodies, but others insist that it's more rooted in belief than scientific fact. Is acupuncture really the cure for what ails you, or does it only turn you into a human pincushion?
American Association of Acupuncture...
Musculoskeletal pain, internal conditions, dermatological and neurological conditions all respond favorably to acupuncture. Where the modality falls short is in structural problems such as spinal stenosis (gradual narrowing of the spinal canal leading to nerve compression). All the needles in the world won’t remove the built-up calcifications to relieve the pressure on a nerve root. Similarly, if a woman were born with two occluded (blocked) fallopian tubes, acupuncture isn’t a viable approach to assist her with having children.
