Once considered an unproven alternative medicine, acupuncture has become so successful in treating pain that main stream western medicine has had to acknowledge and even prescribe it. It has proven more efficient for back pain than medication, chiropractic or massage therapy. As one of the methods used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it is based on unblocking Vital Energy or Qi. TCM deals with the total being – body, mind, spirit and universal energy rather than symptoms. Western Medicine’s dependence on pharmaceuticals and surgery to eliminate symptoms has been a dreadful failure in most areas. However, because of the impact acupuncture and other ‘whole being’ approaches to health, there seems to be a glimmer of willingness to open to these ancient, and historically successful treatments.
