Is acupuncture a placebo?

I figure it probably would have faded out a couple thousand years ago if it was. There are also measurable differences in things like hormones and inflammatory markers in the blood after treatment. A big reason this rumor came about is that research for acupuncture just doesn't fit into the ideal double blind study for medical research because the acupuncturist knows whether or not they are doing acupuncture so they try and use various "sham" acupuncture methods for tests which include things like shallow needle insertion or needling a slightly different point which also has effects greater than seen in placebo as many styles of acupuncture utilize things like shallow needling or needling elsewhere on the channel if a point isn't available (think braces or limited mobility). So when compared to the "sham" acupuncture the results weren't as statistically significant whereas both showed great significance when compared to a control group.
Does acupuncture hurt the next day?
Depending on what you had done, you can be sure the next day, just like a massage can work stuff out as well. Drinking water can reduce the chance of it happening again.

I have several patients that are using acupuncture to push back the date of their surgery for their own reasons. Not everyone responds to acupuncture, but most people do and the risks
(bruising at the needle site) are so low that it's usually worth a try to see if it does help.
