Explanation:
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?

Undeniable Evidence of Acupuncture and Knee Osteoarthritis
NICE
In the UK, NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) recently evaluated the totality of the trial data on acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis. Their bottom line was negative and they recommended against using it. NICE has no axe to grind. They advise the UK government which would be delighted to save money on treatment if acupuncture was truely evidence-based.
