Acupuncture's Growing Recognition in Clinical Practice

The study identified a growing number of TGs and CPGs that recommend the use of acupuncture for various health conditions. This finding suggests that acupuncture is gradually becoming more widely accepted as a complementary therapy in mainstream healthcare settings. The study highlights the importance of evidence-based research in driving the integration of complementary therapies like acupuncture into clinical practice.

Integrating Acupuncture: A Holistic Approach to Healthcare

Acupuncture, like a gentle desert breeze, can offer a complementary approach to managing various health conditions.
