The mind-body connection has always been touted as a powerful, yet mysterious thing- especially when it comes to relieving symptoms of pain or even curing disease.

A recent independent analysis of a method of treatment that remains mired in controversy despite its ancient roots and hundreds of studies, showed that it really is effective, even if the reasons for its effectiveness are not fully understood.

An analysis involving teams from several universities, health groups, and other professionals looked at more than 25 studies that included almost 30,000 adult participants over the years.

They considered not only the published results but also the raw data trying to find credible evidence that acupuncture, the ancient Chinese medical treatment for most every malady under the sun, is an effective and credible treatment alternative.

While the scientists considering the data were quick to point out that their research didn’t offer any additional proof over the original studies, they do maintain that the independent analysis does show clearly that acupuncture helps to eliminate pain, especially for arthritis sufferers.

Some studies pointed to an actual physiological process indicating that acupuncture ‘cures’ arthritis while others insinuated that the benefits were largely in the sufferers’ heads. Either way, marked improvement was shown across the board, validating it as a reliable treatment plan option.
