Acupuncture - An Alternative Medicine
Acupuncture is traditionally a Chinese medicinal treatment technique that involves using needles to stimulate specific points around the patient's body.
It's fundamentally practiced to relieve pain from the body but also has been used to treat other conditions. More than 3 million citizens of the United States practices acupuncture, but it is even more prevalent in other countries.
An acupuncturist (i.e., the person) who performs this medicinal therapy sticks thin, sterile needles into the patient's skin. This treatment aims to help the body of the patient's natural healing kick in.
Studies have shown that acupuncture can treat several conditions, like neck and depression, insomnia, infertility, back pain, nausea, anxiety, and more.

However, some others say acupuncture only works because those practicing it believe it will, an effect called the placebo effect.
