Not so much.: I think acupuncture is voodoo. It can be harmful in that people go to their acupuncturist in good faith, and they dishonestly portray their methods as effective against a variety of conditions that are in dire need of real medicine. I suppose there are exceptions to this; that is acupuncturists who tell people that they need to go see a doctor, but I have never found one.

Musculoskeletal sxs: The world health organization published a long list of conditions proven to be helped by acupuncture. Acupuncture can be very beneficial for acute & chronic musculoskeletal injuries. Iif you keep getting strains in the same area there is a vulnerability. Treatment of chronic injuries takes longer & progresses more slowly. See your physician to determine why you keep getting reinjured.
