Acupuncture
A western scientific approach for the treatment of pain relief.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, but has only recently started to become integrated into Western medicine. Acupuncture is the practice of puncturing the skin with needles in order to treat conditions such as arthritis pain or back pain.
