Acupuncture has been gaining respect in the U.S. lately. Over 8 million Americans have so far used acupuncture for various conditions, according to National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a government agency. Many researchers used to think the effect of the acupuncture treatment was due to the placebo effect.  However, more evidence such as brain scans, ultrasound and functional MRI show that acupuncture triggers direct, measurable effects on the body.
