Theresa Evans's Expert Contributions
Is there evidence that acupuncture works?
Yes, I can say that I have proven thousands of times in the nearly 3 decades that I have been practicing it. Repeatedly, over and over again. All of the patients who call me for pain relief, are referrals. That's right, I do not advertise for pain. So, there is your proof. I am one of thousands who practice acupuncture and I am sure that they have thousands of success stories also. Now, is there US scientific research? NO! Why? The USA only accepts double blind research. You cannot pretend to do acupuncture. Once you put a needle in, the patient is being treated. How do you tell a person they had a treatment when there are no needles inserted? So, when your pain becomes greater than your fear of the unknown, try it. And, point to the pain to better assess if it will help your particular case, kind of like imitating the sound your car is making to a mechanic and expecting them to diagnose the problem. We also have to assess the situation. READ MORE
