Acupuncture is an ancient practice used to treat all kinds of pain by placing needles in the skin to stimulate certain areas of the body. According to a 2017 study published in Pain Medicine, acupuncture treated both pain and anxiety associated with patients who were admitted to the emergency department of a hospital. Unlike other forms of treatments that target specific areas of pain, such as inflammation, nerve pain, or joint pain, acupuncture has the advantage of being able to treat many different types of pain to achieve whole-body wellness. Other types of pain it can treat include pain from fibromyalgia, chronic headaches, lower back pain. menstrual cramps, and osteoarthritis. Some reports even indicate acupuncture has been used to some effectiveness in treating nausea and vomiting associated with cancer treatment.
