Acupuncture: Chinese medical treatment method which involves the use
of metal needles. In 1954 the "Oesterreichische Gesellschaft fuer
Akupunktur ("Austrian Acupuncture Society") was founded by J. Bischko.
In 1958 Bischko set up an acupuncture clinic in the ENT department of
the Vienna Poliklinik hospital. In 1972 the L. Boltzmann Institute for
Acupuncture was founded; since 1992, the Kaiserin-Elisabeth hospital
has been the seat of both the Society and Institute for Acupuncture.
In 1986 acupuncture was partially acknowledged as a cure for illnesses
by the Oberster Sanitaetsrat (Austrian High Medical Council).
