Two words should never go together such as chronic pain. Without knowing the specific kind of pain and its medical root it is difficult to determine a blanket remedy. That said, however, acupuncture has long been seen as a method for dealing with many forms of pain. Recent studies have basically verified that acupuncture does indeed have merit as a form of pain relief. This is one option that will not work for every situation but may work for some. The Mayo Clinic believes that acupuncture may be useful for the following-low back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, migraines and osteoarthritis, as well as a variety of other conditions.
