Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the
world. Originating in China more than 2000 years ago, acupuncture began to become
better known in the United States in 1971.
The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of
anatomical points on the body by a variety of techniques. The acupuncture technique
that has been most studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid,
metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
What does acupuncture feel like?
