There are 31 other conditions that both sample children and sample adults could report treating with acupuncture. For the full list of conditions, see ACUTREAT.
Acupuncture is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. Persons could report that sample children treated back or neck pain by 15 of those methods. (The omitted alternative treatment is prayer, which was included as a treatment for specific health problems in the 2002 survey only, when just sample adults were asked about their use of alternative and complementary medicine. See PRASELFEV for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of back or neck pain by other alternative therapies should see ACUYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other acupuncture-related questions, as well as definitions.
Comparability
This variable is only available for 2007. Treatment of many other specific conditions by acupuncture was covered in the 2002 Alternative Health Supplement, but back or neck pain was not identified as a specific condition for treatment by alternative medicine in that year. The survey classified back or neck pain as a specific health condition for children only, and sample children were not included in the 2002 Alternative Health Supplement.
