Main reason acupuncture is not understood is because the "theory" behind it
is total fantasy.
(and also it's claimed to cure almost anything...that's usually
 a sure sign that a treatment cures nothing)


It does produce bio-feedback, as a tense muscle hurts when pinned
and a relaxed one doesn't, so it *could* be understood as a relaxation aid.
...but this is unrecognised by both 
traditional and alternative .



It's true a doctor won't be able to help (of course), hopefully they 
are knowledgeable enough to refer to a physiotherapist.
In UK at least in order to get such a referal you'd likely need to
go to your GP primed with some facts to support your case.
