Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles at specific points of the body. Originally based in East Asia, acupuncture has been found to be highly beneficial to patients suffering from many diseases and research has found measurable physiological effects. Research evidence shows that acupuncture reduces the experience of pain, stress and anxiety. It also appears to improve digestive problems, helps fatigue, and benefits gait impairments and bladder dysfunction in people with multiple sclerosis.
