Can acupuncture give relief to musculoskeletal pain?
Musculoskeletal disorders are major causes of disability, with some of the most common being neck pain, low back pain, osteoarthritis, shoulder pain, and myofascial pain.
Sixty-three studies looked at the analgesic effect of real acupuncture compared to sham acupuncture in over 6300 individuals for musculoskeletal pain.
The study concluded that acupuncture was more effective than sham acupuncture at relieving pain caused by chronic neck pain, shoulder pain, chronic low back pain, myofascial pain, and osteoarthritis.
Healthcare continues to evolve toward less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, with acupuncture now becoming a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
