Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is thought to work by stimulating the body's natural healing processes and balancing its energy flow.
Acupuncture has been found to have potential benefits for relieving various types of body pain, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, arthritis pain, fibromyalgia pain, muscle pain, and nerve pain. Some potential benefits of using acupuncture for pain relief include:
