!!!Akupunktur

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).
