    Air Force Maj. Kirsten Vitrikas, a deputy surgeon assigned to the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force - Arabian Peninsula, taps the second needle in place during an acupuncture session. The needles were placed on "acupoints." According to traditional ideas, "acupoints" are thought to release blocked energy in order to alter the way pain is experienced.
