Pros/ Cons ans what i suggest

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an old Chinese means of healing that has be used for thousands of years. Studies are always being done to prove the pros and cons of acupuncture. A pro for acupuncture is that no medication needs to be taken. This is good for people who do not want to constantly be popping pills. Also there are low risks of very harmful side effects. Also acupuncture is cost efficient. Instead of keeping up with constant prescription medications. It is also said to connect your mind, body , and spirit. Acupuncture can heal, nausea, and pain from arthritis. There are also some cons to acupuncture. If the needles are not sterilized infection can be caused. Also the person must be trained in acupuncture. Acupuncture may cause bruising and light bleeding. Also, those who blood diseases should maybe consider another treatment. Acupuncture does not cure arthritis but eases the pain temporarily.
I would prescribe acupuncture for certain people because it is a drug free, cost friendly , and effective way to temporarily relieve pain. It is a scary concept but it united your inner ying and yang. Acupuncture is not for everyone such as, those with heart disease however, it can help a variety of different pains. Acupuncture also relieves stress, and helps joint mobility. I know a couple of people who have gotten acupuncture and they said it was a bit scary at first but really helped them. My dad also suggests it quite a bit because he has gotten positive results from his patients from it. This concludes my opinion that acupuncture is a sufficient way to relieve pain temporarily.
