Ancient Treatment for Pain Still Used Today.
Acupuncture is a method whereby tiny needles are inserted at strategic locations on the human body to relieve pain and suffering from numerous ailments.
We don't know why acupuncture works, only that it does.
We know that it works on many people, and that it has an effect through the autonomic and central nervous system, as well as the circulatory system, but we have no explanation as to why.
As far as the needles are concerned, you will feel them.
Some needles may sting and some needles may go unnoticed; but they rarely hurt as much as an injection and only for a split second.
There is no medicine in or on the needles.
The secret is in placing needles in precise locations in the right manner.
Some diseases that respond well to acupuncture are:
* Facial pain
* Headaches
* Neuritis
* Sciatica
* Arthritis
* Joint pain
