Acupuncture DOES work. There have been many rigorous studies of its efficacy, and it actually does interfere with nerve transmission, resulting in a anesthetic effect. It does NOT help you stop smoking, or act as an anti-depressant, or many of the other claims for it. But it is an effective pain treatment.
