    Acupuncture is a traditional therapy that involves fine needles at specific points. It is used in many settings and is supported by a growing evidence base for some conditions.

    Key points to know

    • Always choose a qualified, licensed practitioner.
    • Tell the practitioner about medicines, pregnancy and bleeding disorders.
    • A course may be recommended rather than a single session.
    • Effects vary between individuals.
