Yes, acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that uses needles inserted into specific points on the body to help relieve pain. It's been around for centuries and has been used to treat various ailments, including pain. Studies have shown that it can be effective in treating pain from headaches, neck pain, back pain, joint pain, and more.
