It is possible to experience stress relief, a reduction in chronic pain and improved sleep without drugs that have frightening side effects. Acupuncture, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is scientifically proven to help patients improve their well being and reach health-related goals by targeting different points along the body’s energetic meridian system. While regular treatments from Portland acupuncture specialists provide the greatest effectiveness and benefits, some patients notice an improvement after the first visit.

This infographic has a lot of great information about acupuncture, and the source list to back it up is good to see too. The visual representations of acupuncture are helpful for communicating the theme, and the organization is good. The efficacy of the data visualization is inconsistent, though. The numbers are shown mostly through type, and when an attempt is made to visualize a number it's sometimes through an ineffective technique like shading in an unusual shape, where the shading can be a misleading representation of the actual number. The copy is too long in many spots, too, but some sections are better than others on both counts. I'd rate this a C-.
