Acupuncture consists of the insertion of very fine needles into the skin at strategic points on the body. Acupuncture, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, is frequently used to treat pain. Its use is increasingly common to improve general well-being, for example, to manage stress.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force, known as "chi" or "qi," which is believed to flow through channels (meridians) in the body. By inserting needles at specific points on these meridians, acupuncturists consider that the energy flow is rebalanced.
In contrast, many Western acupuncturists view acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues. Some believe that this method stimulates the body's natural pain relievers.

How to choose an acupuncturist?
If you are considering acupuncture, follow the same steps you would follow to choose a doctor:
• Ask people you trust for recommendations.
• Check the acupuncturist's credentials and training.
Most states require non-medical acupuncturists to pass n exam from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
• Ask for an interview with the acupuncturist. Ask what the treatment is, how likely it is to help you with your condition, and what the cost is.
• Find out if your health insurance covers the treatment.
Tell your doctor that you are considering acupuncture. Your doctor may be able to tell you about the success rate of acupuncture for your condition, or they might recommend an acupuncturist.
