Acupuncture

Acupuncture, which involves inserting tiny needles into the body, is both a kind of complementary treatment and a crucial component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Despite being used to treat a variety of diseases, it is most frequently used to relieve pain. Acupuncture is typically only used in conjunction with complementary therapies. Between China (10) and the United States, there were considerable disparities in the average number of patients treated each hour (1.2). The usage of Chinese herbs is common. There are several acupuncture techniques that employ very distinct ideas.
