Here is an abridged list from the World Health Organization recommending acupuncture for these conditions, because acupuncture has been ‘proven through controlled trials to be an effective treatment:
Traditional acupuncture is based on the traditional East Asian philosophical framework. Traditional acupuncture is said to course Qi and balance the Five Elements (an analogy for the physiological systems) to restore health, or harmonize Yin and Yang for instance by regulating the autonomic nervous system: parasympathetic (Rest & Digest) & sympathetic (Fight or Flight). It can down-regulate the stress response, balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and soothe pain, amongst other beneficial effects.
Current research has not only been confirming the effects of acupuncture, but also improving specificity, repeatability, and overall outcomes with treatment. Both manual needle stimulation and/or electric stimulation are applied with modern acupuncture. The modern neuroscience-based approach uses current understanding of anatomy and physiology to provide unparalleled treatment strategies ranging from orthopedics and pain management, internal medicine, stress and sleep disorders, neurological conditions and much more.
Three evidence-based ways acupuncture works:
Trigger Point Acupuncture, also known as dry needling, is a useful technique for stubborn, chronic pain conditions and to improve sports performance. Note that soreness post treatment with Trigger Point Acupuncture is common. Application of heat is one way to help alleviate the soreness.

Over the years, I have used the services of a number of chiropractors. I like Dr. Filers approach to chiropractic. She uses trigger point massage to work on the muscles before she makes any adjustments. Sometimes this is painful, but it makes for a much more effective adjustment. She is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Her offices and equipment are bright and clean and everyone who works there is super nice.
