Dear Patient, People will sometimes ask me if acupuncture is magic. I get it—a few needles plus an hour of rest equals a migraine dispelled, a solid eight hours of sleep achieved, a breech baby turned. It really does seem like magic. But think about modern medicine for a moment. In-vitro fertilization, robotic joint replacement, cataract surgery, even the simple antibiotics we take for granted—such interventions would have seemed like magic to our ancestors.
