>>13262521It's weird. It works because people think it works. I have a French teacher who had some sort of neck pain back in high school. Doctors have no idea what the fuck is wrong with her. Every hour or so, she would have such an intense neck pain, she would crane her neck to one side, and keep it there with one of her hands. Sometimes she'd go an entire class with her neck craned.
One student there (who's Chinese) recommended her to get free acupuncture sessions at her family's clinic. This was halfway through the 2nd term. For the rest of the school year, she never had neck pain again, and never had to crank her head to one side to alleviate it.
Either it works through some sort of unexplainable mechanism, or placebo solved her chronic neck pain attacks.
