Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years for pain and other ailments. It is based on a system of twelve channels that correspond with the different organ systems found in the body. Along these channels there are a number of points. By inserting sturdy, thin, sterile needles into these points, pain and inflammation can be relieved.
