Acupuncturists believe that energy, or chi, is in everyone, and if blocked, it can result in illness. But if this is a bit airy-fairy, there is another way of looking at it. Acupuncture will work on the nerve impulse, influencing electrical circuits in the body. 
NOW some of you may think acupuncture is only used by hippies and alternative types. But in fact acupuncture is being widely accepted in this country. Sporty blokes like me (see diagram on the right) are helping break the stereotypes associated with this Eastern healing.
