Acupuncture originated more than 2,000 years ago, making it
one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in
the world. 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 by the hands
or by electrical stimulation. |
