Acupuncture As Good As Drugs (April 8, 2014)
Well, maybe not as good as ALL drugs. But in this (still unpublished) study done by an acupuncture-trained M.D. in an Australian emergency room, it was found to relieve the pain of migraines, injured ankles and of lower back conditions as well as the ER's standard protocol of painkilling medications. Which is saying quite a lot. Here is the link:

Painkillers can be hard to get and expensive, may become addictive, may stop working after a while (frequently for the people who need them the most), and may have terrible side effects. The more safe and effective alternatives to them, the better.
