I have had amazing results from acupuncture, for chronic pain the the right shoulder. I once considered such treatment suspiciously like witchcraft, but it can really work ~ depending, I suppose, on the skill of the practitioner.

Comparisons to "witchcraft" shouldn't bother you, anyway, right? :^)

FWIW (For what it's worth) / YMMV (our milage may vary) / etc.
