Even the quackery that is acupuncture is somehow less harmful. Like you can get stabbed in the lungs with that bs and it somehow manages to be less harmful than chiropractic
Acupuncture at least has a physiological basis for it even if the energy aspect is bullshit. Like how getting a tattoo over muscle feels great after the first few minutes, you're provoking a wound response in a superficial way.
Spine necromancy though, nothin'. It's a wholly bullshit alternative to physical therapy that should see every practitioner cervically adjusted above the doors to their businesses.
Large randomised trials demonstrating the immediate and sustained effect of acupuncture are missing
The value of complementary acupuncture in the treatment of inflammatory diseases is still questioned.
the usefulness of acupuncture still has to be demonstrated in large randomised trials.
Evidence from large randomised trials, including follow-up measurements of mediators of inflammation, both at the site of inflammation and in the periphery, should be obtained to prove the immunologic effects of acupuncture
The acupuncture-controlled release of neuropeptides from nerve endings and subsequent vasodilative and anti-inflammatory effects through calcitonine gene-related peptide is hypothesised.
They need to be removed from medical practice.

So there are a lot of recent studys showing that accupuncture does actually reduce inflammation. I think there are a lot more going on now too.
Here's one
I mean from the study you linked
It's not very solid evidence
It isnt rock solid but every study i saw pointed in the direction of acupuncture working.
yeah frankly you'd be better off going to the local woman rumored to be a witch for your medical needs
