Acupuncture has been practised in China for more than 4,500 years and is increasingly popular in the West. Acupuncturists believe that treatment works by countering an imbalance of energy in the body; recently some scientists have suggested that the needles may stimulate the body's endorphins or naturally occurring painkillers
