Is it possible to benefit from acupuncture while using conventional medical practices?

Both conventional and complementary medicine have their own limitations and benefits. Nowadays there is a global trend among medical practitioners to use integrative medicine. Integrative medicine is the use of both conventional and complementary medical practices together to gain the most. At any stage of therapeutic process acupuncture can be added to improve the medical effects and reduce the potential side effects of conventional drugs. As the rule of thumb, the earlier acupuncture added the better the therapeutic results.
