How effective is acupuncture in relieving pain?

Amazing: Pain is one of the most significant entities that acupuncture can treat. In fact there is a series of ear acupuncture points called battlefield acupuncture points used by the military.

Can be very good: It can be highly effective in pain relief. There is nothing like treating a patient with 8/10 pain from fresh rib fractures and have his pain drop to 0/10 by placing one needle in the "rib pt" in his ear. It takes more treatments for chronic conditions.
