ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. 

Its proponents variously claim that it relieves pain, treats infertility, treats disease, prevents disease, promotes general health, or can be used for therapeutic purposes. 

Acupuncture typically incorporates traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an integral part of its practice and theory.

The term “acupuncture” is sometimes used to refer to insertion of needles at points other than traditional ones, or to applying an electric current to needles in acupuncture points.
