Yet another new and rigorous medical study funded by the United States National Institute of Health and conducted over 5 years with over 18,000 patients shows acupuncture is effective in reducing the pain and discomfort associated with migraines, arthritis, and other back, neck, and shoulder issues.  Read the corresponding New York Times article here.

Acupuncture is the procedure of inserting very thin needles through the skin at specific points in the body at various depths.  The points are located on meridians through which qi vital energy runs, as according to traditional Chinese medical theory.
