The most important thing in dealing with chronic pain is finding the cause and finding an effective pain treatment. With acute injuries, time does most of the work, eventually. Unfortunately, many forms of pain become chronic and are difficult to treat. Pharmaceutical pain killers are effective but also carry the risk of dependence as well as a host of unwanted side-effects.
Acupuncture is effective for a wide variety of painful conditions and carries little to no risk, when performed by a trained, licensed acupuncturist.
