Acupuncture is a treatment that has been used for centuries. It is known as an alternative method for pain relief. It is not a widely used treatment thus far, some are most skeptical.
Doctors agree that temporary treatment is proven to work.
This treatment is more effective if used with other pain treatments as well. Massage therapy and acupuncture tend to go hand in hand. In most cases with acupuncture treatment it is effective from fifty to seventy percent in short term relief. About twenty percent get long term relief. Less then ten percent get no relief at all.
