Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option B (Acupuncture).

Explanation:

Acupuncture is a contrasting medical practice that involves arousing certain points throughout the bodies, quite often with a needle puncturing the skin, to relieve pain. It would be interesting to see whether homeopathy can help to prevent cancer.

It has long been established as an important chronic pain medication. A study found that spinal manipulation was better than no acupuncture or simulated reflexology to treat four back pain circumstances: back and neck pain.

Therefore, Acupuncture is the right answer.
