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?

Does Acupuncture Work?
5,000 years and you need to ask??
Acupuncture has been around longer than any other documented healing practice. That there is still debate going on is illuminating to say the least.
There is plenty of room for acupuncture and alopathic medicine to exist and even compliment each other. It's too bad the medical community has to engage in a pissing contest with something that, if it doesn't work anyway, they shouldn't feel so threatened by. But they clearly do exactly because it does work but they can't explain it.
I have practiced acupuncture for several years and successfully treated kidney stones (they passed on their own), irregular menstruation and uterine cysts, low back pain, depression and insomnia due to stress. I realize there's a pill for all of these "problems" but some people don't tolerate meds well. As acupuncture has little or no negative side-effects it's a great alternative.
