Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that usually sees doctors inserting needles at specific points in a patient's body. This is said to relieve pain, help with stress reduction, arthritis, digestion and other health problems.
But make sure you seek out advise from your health practitioner before embarking on any sort of alternative therapy.
