Acupuncture for Pain Relief Dr. Kristin Bell is a primary care physician who uses acupuncture to treat veterans for chronic pain and other conditions. According to Bell, many of her patients “have been able to lower their meds, or even go off chronic narcotics altogether” (Steele, 2012). Along with pain relief, some patients report improvements in mood and sleep quality.
