An Introduction to Acupuncture
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. In the
United States, acupuncture is considered part
of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Key Points
Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for
thousands of years.
Scientists are studying the efficacy of acupuncture for a wide range of
conditions. Relatively few complications have been reported from the use

you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health.
This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
