Acupuncture: Introduction and Use for Pain Control

Article

Acupuncture is a complementary approach that originated from traditional Chinese medicine, from a theory that the flow of vital energy, or "Qi" (pronounced CHEE, I believe, unless someone who speaks Chinese tells me otherwise) can be regulated by stimulation of key body areas with needles, heat, or pressure. It is generally felt to be quite safe when performed by properly qualified individuals, although caution is appropriate for patients with a tendency toward increased bleeding or known low platelets.
