Acupuncture seems to work one way or the other.People swear that acupuncture has helped them with headaches and arthritis.

A study also shows us that acupuncture can help to reduce chronic pain by up to 50%.According to aarp.org

[Millions of Americans who use acupuncture can take heart from a new study that provides evidence that the ancient Chinese healing therapy can help reduce chronic pain by as much as 50 percent — welcome news for sufferers of back pain, arthritis, headaches and other painful conditions.]

Wikipedia: Acupuncture is an alternative medicine methodology originating in ancient China that treats patients by manipulating thin, solid needles that have been inserted into acupuncture points in the skin. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating these points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians

According to Natural News] You Can Banish insomnia for good with acupuncture: Having trouble sleeping? Don’t resort to a prescription solution; try a little acupuncture, the Chinese-developed treatment for a host of health-related issues.

First things first, however. In order to best treat your insomnia, you need to figure out why you’re experiencing it.

“Although insomnia is the most common sleep complaint, it is not a single sleep disorder. It’s more accurate to think of insomnia as a symptom of another problem. The problem causing the insomnia differs from person to person,” says HelpGuide.org.

What kind of stressors do you have in your life? Can you manage them better? What about your eating habits – do you like to eat heavy meals late, like within an hour of going to bed? Do you drink too much caffeine throughout the day? Each of these can cause you to lose sleep. “The good news is that most cases of insomnia can be cured with changes you can make on your own – without relying on sleep specialists or turning to prescription or over-the-counter sleeping pills,” HelpGuide.org advises.]
