Yes it really works!: Many research studies prove acupuncture to be effective for back & neck pain, headaches, post-op nausea, copd, arthritis of the knee & meniere's! research also shows it increases endorphin & hormone release, activity of parts of the brain & stimulates blood flow.See http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/6660197 & www.Healthcmi.Com/index.Php/acupuncturist-news-online/377-acupunctureresearchquestioned.

Yes it does work for: Many conditions. Menieres may respond to acupuncture - but don't get your hopes up too high. Tinnitus and vertigo can be helped w acupuncture (but it is an area where I have seen only marginal improvement). But then again, i still have much to learn as an acupuncturist. Tennis elbow. According to world health organization based on studies with controlled clinical trials, acupuncture is effective.
