Is there any legitimacy to accupuncture?
#11
RE: Is there any legitimacy to accupuncture?
My understanding is that studies show acupuncture is not more effective than placebo. I actually almost lost a friend who was using it for migraine relief when I showed her the studies. But she stopped the acupuncture anyway, because it wasn't actually helping her migraines, so...~shrugs~ (I also don't think she has migraines, because she has no other symptoms aside from sever headache, and no migraine treatment of any sort has ever worked. I told her I wasn't downplaying her suffering, just urging her to get a proper diagnosis so she could get better treatment, but that upset her too. I guess the word "migraine" gets more sympathy or something. I don't understand people sometimes). Anyway, sorry for rambling on there.

Chairopraty varies. Since they are actually moving things around, it can relieve pinched nerves and things like that, but some of it is also just placebo.
