Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), particularly acupuncture, is a popular method of therapy that pain patients have adopted. Pain practitioners should be familiar with Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are the oldest practices of medication. TCM is a standardized version of a type of Chinese medicine that is based on some ancient beliefs. There is a belief that a vital energy, ?qi,? flows through the body and executes many functions to take care of health. TCM practitioners believe that chronic pain occurs through an obstruction or imbalance of qi, and their job is to correct or balance its movement.
