Acupuncture
Originally an ancient Chinese therapy for pain, acupuncture is now such a standard technique in pain clinics in this country that it is no longer considered an alternative therapy. Acupuncture stimulation seems to affect the spinal gates, which select the amount of pain messages passing through the spinal cord and up to the brain, and can help in a wide variety of types of pain.
