Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical therapies and records of its use date back as far as written language itself. Further development of acupuncture can be found in the rich history of East Asian Medical practices, most notably, in Chinese medicine. From antiquity to modern medicine, acupuncture has and continues to play an important role in managing a wide variety of illnesses and their symptoms: from headaches and pain, to chronic sinus allergies and digestive issues, acupuncture can help.
