Despite the protestations of acupuncturists who always wish to point out that acupuncture is an holistic therapy it is still best known for its ability to assist in the relief of pain. Put simply pain in this context is considered to be caused by stagnation when energy, blood and lymph get stuck and cannot move. Acupuncture can be very effective at a basic level for pain and injuries by simply getting things moving again and clearing the way for good circulation. Then fresh blood can get to the injured area and the natural process of healing can commence. It may be that pain control is all that people want and that is fine but an acupuncturist will always be interested in finding the route cause of the problem to try and ensure that the problem does not recur.
