Although acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years in Asian medicine, it is a relatively recent subject of scientific and medical research in the Western world.  In the past thirty years, acupuncture has grown as a field of study and today is used by major hospital systems, the U.S. Military, and the U.S. Veterans Administration.  

Acupuncture studies have shown it to be an effective way to reduce body pain, improve chronic illness symptoms, and relieve anxiety and depression.
