In more serious cases some people are given X-ray【50】or injections. NICE, however, say there is evidence that acupuncture may be more【51】than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice.
As an【52】to acupuncture, patients will be able to opt for either a course of spinal manipulation (脊椎推拿), or a【53】of special exercise sessions. In the UK, acupuncture is classed as a complementary therapy, which is the term given to a medical procedure which hasn’t been【54】to the strict trials by which scientists prove some treatments work.
While many experts have【55】the move to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.
