Pain

Pain is one of the most researched acupuncture treatments, and many studies validate the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating pain.  It is probably the complaint most of us see in the clinic. 1/3 to 1/5 of all adults experience chronic pain, yet western medicine has little offer aside from drugs. 

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), UK, recommends considering acupuncture as a treatment option for chronic (long-term) pain.
