Does acupuncture work the same for everybody?


Question:


Answers:
Normal results from acupuncture are relief of pain and/or improvement of the condition being treated. As is true with other forms of medical treatment, a minority of patients do not respond to acupuncture. The reasons for nonresponsiveness are not known at the present stage of research.
A standard acupuncture treatment takes between 45 minutes to an hour and costs between $40 and $100, although initial appointments often cost more. Chronic conditions usually require 10 treatment sessions, but acute conditions or minor illnesses may require only one or two visits. Follow-up visits are often scheduled for patients with chronic pain. As of 2000, about 70–80% of health insurers in the United States reimbursed patients for acupuncture treatments.

Other Answers:
Acupuncture does not work the same for everybody. Neither does any other medication for that matter. Even the same person will react differently on different days.

Acupuncture is especially person-related, because it treats body and mind in a homeostatic - i.e. stabilising - fashion.
