RESPONSE from Frank:
Dean,

Acupuncture can reduce pain, no doubt about that, however the chiropractic approach is to find the cause of the pain (spinal misalignment) and to correct that, not just interfere with the body’s ability to appreciate the pain.

You should review a series of 3 research studies in ChiroZINE that demonstrates the clear superiority of chiropractic over both acupuncture and drugs. They are about ½ the way down the page on the left-side. (Chronic Spinal Pain: Spinal Manipulation vs. Acupuncture vs. Drugs)

Read them, and you may reconsider your beliefs.
