There’s some very minor/inconsistent evidence that perhaps increased blood flow from acupuncture could help alleviate some tension, offering relief from muscle tightness and the associated pain. But really it’s mostly placebo. And that’s fine, as long as it doesn’t come with injury risk (like Chiropractics does) or exploit too much money out of you. But a lot of acupuncturists will make very bold and unfounded claims about its benefits, like curing chronic diseases.
