Medical acupuncture has its roots in ancient China and is based on the rules of traditional Chinese medicine on the one hand, and on the principles of contemporary neurophysiology on the other. Medical acupuncture is the only alternative medicine method that has been officially recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and is widely accepted by the international medical community as a complementary or independent treatment method. Under Decision No. 574/Α4/1191/21-2-1980 by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Greek State has rendered the application of acupuncture as an exclusively medical practice, which must be exercised by specialist doctors with suitable training. Medical acupuncture is the official treatment method for over 100 medical conditions and has no side effects whatsoever when properly applied by qualified doctors.
