Acupuncture is purported to realign the energy fields in the body. Energy circulates the body and can become blocked which causes malfunction in the form of emotional or physical discomfort. Using needles to stimulate energy flow is how acupuncture works. Many people say it's great for depression, including me!

There is an increasing amount of scientific support for acupuncture's ability to move energy around the body and help treat many health conditions (including back pain and depression!) It is said that acupuncture helps to resport balance to the energy fields (meridians) that run through the body, especially when used in conjunction with Chinese herbs. So, yes, acupuncture might very well help with both conditions! FoundHealth has an article to reference on this called Depression and Acupuncture.
