It is quite safe and has been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

Also, it is not just a placebo effect. I have used it myself, but the real difference was when my dad used it. He has really bad back problems, and going to an acupuncture session removed the pain for a few days. I don't know if it was by numbing the nerve or stimulating other muscle groups, but it definitely worked.

See if your health insurance company will cover them. Also, find a clinic that will give you a free session so you can see if it will make a difference before committing for the long term.

Regards,
