Although I have no experience in Acupuncture, I feel that we should really apply the literature to the subject.

Whether acupuncture works or not is not the real question, rather we should be asking if it works, what applications does it have.

The following article shows that in fact Acupuncture appears to have 'real' value for certain conditions.

Emmons, Sandra L., Otto, Lesley
Acupuncture for Overactive Bladder: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Obstet Gynecol 2005 106: 138-143

Elucidating what these conditions are, and what patient populations will benefit most from acupuncture gives rise to real meaning of its application in physiotherapy practice.

Hopefully more studies will continue to show us that in fact the methods that physiotherapists currently use are indeed useful.
