“There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to expand its use into conventional medicine.”

The United States Air Force physicians have begun using acupuncture to treat pain and injury on the battlefield as well as back at home for circumstances where medications and other treatments are either not available or not practical, for instance, injured pilots who need to be in full command of their faculties to fly.
