Acupuncture / Does It Work ? : An 8 page research
paper
exploring the efficacy of the Chinese use of acupuncture. It is
only during the last two decades that Western culture has begun
to accept this 5,000 year-old treatment procedure. The fact that
the reasons acupuncture works in so many cases cannot be
scientifically identified has created barriers to the use of this
therapy in Western medicine. Numerous research studies
reported in this paper clearly reveal that acupuncture is more
effective than traditional Western medicine in a number of
conditions. The writer offers evidence of the benefits of this
ancient Chinese medical treatment process. Bibliography
