Acupuncture (from Latin, acus (needle) and punctura (to puncture)[1]) is a form of alternative medicine[2] and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)[3] involving thin needles being inserted into the body.[4] TCM theory and practice are not based upon scientific knowledge,[5] and acupuncture is commonly described as pseudoscience.[6][7] There is a diverse range of acupuncture theories, involving different philosophies.[8] Techniques vary depending on the country.[9] The method used in TCM is likely the most widespread in the US.[2] It is most often used for pain relief,[10][11] though it is also used for a wide range of other conditions.[3] It is generally only used in combination with other forms of treatment
