Chinese people have been doing acupuncture for thousands of years but it was not until 1971 when this practice was introduced in the US. Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures around the world. It describes a family of procedures that “wakes up” certain anatomical points on the body using various techniques.

The most popular, and most frequently used, method in acupuncture involves thin, metallic needles that are pierced into the skin and manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
