I'm so glad acupuncture is working for some. It doesn't work for all, sadly.

The points are referred to as local and distal points. Based on thousands of years of Chinese medicine, it's pretty amazing.

http://orientalmedicine.com/point-selection (I don't know much about acupuncture, but this seemed a decent introduction to the points).

I've had various points, and I think each acupuncturist will address specific ailments accordingly.

It's the only consistent form of relief I've had thus far.
