Although acupuncture has been in use for thousands of years, it has only been in mainstream America since the 1970s. In today’s evidence-based healthcare system, there is an increasing demand for proof demonstrating acupuncture’s efficacy. In fact, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has consistently allocated an increasing budget to fund research on acupuncture and other complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) techniques. The field of research and body of evidence is constantly growing. Currently, numerous clinical trials are underway investigating the potential for acupuncture to effectively treat various additional conditions.
