Alternative Therapy
Alternative medicine is big business and it is estimated that Americans will spend $34 billion on a variety of alternative treatments over the course of a single year. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy and is usually considered within the 'alternative medicine' category. The alternative medicine category contains an interesting and diverse group of therapies although not all these therapies are considered legitimate by contemporary modern medical practice; many are simply strange and consequently of no therapeutic worth (that's right homeopathy, I'm talking about you). Alternative therapies, if they are to be taken seriously, should be able to stand up to scientific and medical scrutiny.
Acupuncture
In traditional acupuncture, fine needles are placed in various parts of the body and are rotated or otherwise stimulated. The needles are placed along specific energy channels, or meridians. Acupuncture practitioners contend that meridians contain the body's life force, or chi and the placement of needles along these channels influence the body's energy for the good. There is no space in this article to consider the traditional Chinese approach to disease and how acupuncture can alter physiological processes. It is sufficient to say that most modern medical practitioners would disagree with the traditional Chinese explanation. However, this does not mean that acupuncture has no beneficial medical effects.
Acupuncture- does it work?
Does acupuncture actually work and should it be considered as an effective and legitimate medical treatment? It is important to establish that acupuncture's effectiveness is more than that expected over and above the placebo effect. Acupuncture's validity can only be established by conducting well designed double blind clinical trials. It won't do for adherents of acupuncture to say that their technique does not respond to scientific scrutiny. If acupuncture cannot stand up to the rigours of scientific evaluation then it should be disregarded as an effective therapy.
Practitioners of acupuncture claim that it is a useful therapy for a range of medical conditions. Most studies have focussed on whether acupuncture is an effective treatment for the management of pain. Acupuncture has been proposed as a treatment for drug addiction, asthma, epilepsy and depression, to name but a few. Although acupuncture has been thoroughly investigated by medical research bodies there is little evidence to suggest that it is an effective treatment for anything. There is some evidence which supports the contention that acupuncture helps in the management of pain however, it is no more effective than medically prescribed analgesics.
