Is acupuncture a safe and useful treatment for persistent back pain?
I have been having persistent back pain for more than a year. I have seen multiple doctors who cannot seem to find anything wrong based on my xrays and MRI scan.
They have advised me to just take pain medicines and try some physiotherapy. Some of my friends have recommended acupuncture. Will acupuncture help?
