ACUPUNCTURE is as effective as popular painkillers for treating disabling conditions such as arthritis, according to a ground-breaking new study on Acupuncture.
A team of scientists from two British universities made the findings on Acupuncture after they carried out brain scans on patients while they underwent Acupuncture treatment.
Doctors found that the part of the brain that manages pain and the nervous system responded to acupuncture and improved pain relief.
Dr George Lewith, from the University of Southampton's Complementary Medicine Research Unit, "The evidence we now have is that acupuncture works very well on pain."
