    Hahahah! I love WebMD. It saved me when I had panic attacks and couldn’t figure out the root. However, please rule out the silly humor out of the short videos. It depletes the useful time that could have been otherwise used on precious information.

      I disagree the humor kept the uninterested half of my brain engaged for the first 30 seconds, it was redundant after the explanation began however and shouldn’t interrupt at the expense of the subject material.

    I've done rmt/physi/chiro with little to no results. One session of acupuncture and conditions I've had for years and felt hopeless would ever be resolved were gone in a single session. I just want to know how it actually works and why it is apparently able to have profound effects on my body.

    As an acupuncture student this is the worst description ever for our practice. One it’s rarely painful, two it controls the Qi energy of the 12 meridians of the body linked to the organ system. Those points contain pools of energy that are released upon stimulation that almost kinda tells the body to begin to reset that normal function of that energy channel therefore bringing healing effects to the body by balancing out the 5 elements of the body. Wood (liver and gallbladder), Water (bladder and kidney), Fire ( heart, small intestines, pericardium and triple burner), Earth ( stomach, spleen(pancreas included with spleen), Metal (lungs and large intestine) by balancing out the relationship between these elements acupuncture is a catalyst.

    I went to two acu sessions with the same gal. Who did she cause major pain, I'll never do acu again! She was sticking needles in me that struck nerves that would send pain shooting down a leg or arm. Then she used this almost cheese grater type device to very firmly scrape my muscles until they were black and blue. Then she used these suction cups that caused some pain, but that wasn't quite as bad as the former two things.

      There are hundreds of books and studies highlighting not only theorems but evidence to the multiple pathways acupuncture affects the body. "Giovanni Maciocia: the practice of chinese medicine" is a good place to find some great citations. "Spark in the machine" is a great book too if interested in biophysics and biochem.

    You guys are severly misinformed... the reason why people are apprehensive about acupuncture is because they hear the word needle and immediately start thinking of a shot. This is a false association because shots you get from the doctors office are NOT true needles.... technically a shot is a pipe, a thin tube with a hole in yhe middle for fluid to flow through... acupuncturist use TRUE needles. True needles have very fine points. This means the head of the needle will actually fit between the epidermis layer cause minimal to NO PAIN..... Shots hurt because the open hole in the center is literally severing out a circular shape in the skin.... so ya that will hurt

      @SuperBeetox acupuncture might not be able to completely resolve everything as is the case with most medical interventions. But dealing with inflammation and trauma it is very effective and it's focus is to treat the root cause of disease, be it psych, biomedical, or muscular skeletal. Acupuncturist also use other methods to treat bone on bone issues, such as herbal injection therapies, and even deep needling to damaged joint causeing microbleeding for better tissue regeneration. Its also far from being mythical.
