Acupuncture for Neck Pain: Science is catching up with the practice
Quality science supporting the acupuncture use for neck pain is catching up with the practice.
A systematic review by scientists from Cochrane collaboration confirmed that acupuncture is significantly more effective than sham acupuncture for neck pain relief.
The scientists from Southern California University performed nine meta-analyses. Seven of them yielded positive results.
The systematic review was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine 2009 Feb 13.
