Is acupuncture woo?

I got a tender and painful lateral epicondylitus (tennis elbow) a couple of months ago. Couldn't grasp and carry things and thought about it many times an hour (When you get old there are infinite aches and pains and a hierarchy develops determined by how many times you think "that fucken knee" or "fuck that elbow hurts again")

Just completed 6 weeks of acupuncture for the first time , mostly to satisfy curiosity. 20-25 minutes each session with 4 needles poking out of the elbow under a heatlamp. You just lie there listening to headphones.

Felt it getting better over time, i.e. less noise from the conscience dwelling pain reporter, and overall bloody well done young Jack the chinaman.

A genuine option for muscular aches and strains I reckon

If used for the right thing it is not woo. It will help with aches and pains, but won't cure cancer or an ugly disposition

@jc that’s gold, now let’s all point and laugh them

Save NHS Homeopathy | Campaign to keep Homeopathy a part of the NHS

As a fervent supporter of of homeopathy I gave them absolutely nothing, because that’s more effective than using real money.

Well it fucking well cured my ugly disposition and you bastards can all just piss off if you don’t agree. Pricks.

My ex got acupuncture when she was pregnant, the guy doing it damaged a nerve in the sole of her foot . I think the damage was permanent too, maybe not as effective on cloven hoofs?

I take it it didn't cure her disposition either?
