Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of therapy and has its roots in ancient Chinese philosophy. Modern acupuncturists not only use traditional meridian acupuncture points, but also non-meridian or extra-meridian acupuncture points such as trigger points. The evidence-based approach examines protocols evaluated in controlled trials, alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory.
