Acupuncture is pure horseshit and there are lots of good writeups on why that is the case if one is willing to do a bit of research. This article is not perfect but has some good info: http://www.dcscience.net/?p=6060

That it might offer placebo effect, that it might encourage positive thinking, or might cause less harm than psychiatry (probably the most controversial field of medicine) are all really, really lovely arguments in support of "alternative medicine". All of these goals can be achieved without scamming desperate people with dubious (at best) methods. Also, science has yet to confirm any benefit (or logical mechanism to obtain such benefit) from "dry needling".

Tim Raines IRL posted:That's not what my insurance company said when they authorized and paid for it. Your insurance company will probably cover acupuncture and a bunch of other bullshit too. Stop wasting your time and benefits and go educate yourself. E: potentially bullshit with a bunch of poorly done studies supporting its efficacy.
