Is Acupuncture Really Effective?

Although it has been used for thousands and thousands of years, acupuncture still isn't 100 percent supported by the conventional medical community.

While some doctors do believe in the healing powers of acupuncture and actually offer the therapy in their offices, other experts don't give any legitimacy to acupuncture as an actual medical treatment.

Nevertheless, many studies and patient testimonials have reported positive results from acupuncture therapy.

The acupuncture procedure involves the strategic placement of tiny needles around the body. It is used for pain-relief, stress relief, and some believe that it can treat the symptoms of a variety of ailments.

Recent studies have shown acupuncture to be an effective supplemental therapy for IVF, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ADHD.

Other uses for acupuncture include neck and back pain relief, tendonitis, childbirth pain, headaches, cyst removal, allergies, asthma, dental care, and to treat the side effects of chemotherapy.
