Homeopathy, acupuncture, ozone therapy... all "alternative medicines" basically.

I have a pinched nerve. I went to many doctors, done many tests, went to months of PT and was still in pain. I went to my acupuncturist and she is able to release the muscles around the pinch enough that my right arm doesn’t feel constantly numb. I a man of science. I don’t believe in he Chi traveling my body etc but the physical result of the acuponcture cannot be denied.

And there are physical therapists who do acupuncture strictly for muscle release without all of the chi stuff.

Yes absolutely. They call it needling though
