Australians more likely than Americans to use acupuncture?
According to a National Health Survey in the United States, done in 2002, an estimated 8.2 million adults in the U.S. had had acupuncture at some point. A little over two million had their acupuncture within the year before the survey.
In 2005, a study was done in Australia regarding three alternative, or complementary, treatments: chiropractics, acupuncture, and osteopathy. Of 1067 people interviewed by phone, about one-quarter (271 people) said that they used at least one of the three therapies within the past year: chiropractic: 16.1% (176), acupuncture: 9.2% (101) and osteopathy: 4.6%.
