I've heard that acupuncture is good for a number of conditions. Can someone explain this?

Acupuncture involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body, and then stimulating them with either manual manipulation or electrical current. The theory behind it is that these points correspond to certain organs in the body, and by stimulating them, the body can heal itself better. There are many different types of acupuncture, including traditional Chinese acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and trigger point acupuncture.
