There’s been a lot of negative talk on chiropractors and how they don’t really help, science wise. What about acupuncture?
In: Biology
There isn’t really any. Acupuncture is based on the flow of qi (energy), through the body which doesn’t have any basis in actual anatomy or physiology as we currently understand it. Most of the perceived benefits are likely placebo.
That said, acupuncture performed by a trained practitioner is quite safe, and at the end of the day do you care that it’s a placebo if your pain feels better?
