How Does Acupuncture Work? The medical use of acupuncture goes back about 2,500 years. It is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves placing hair-thin needles at strategic points around the body. In many cases, the needle is twisted until the practitioner feels something called the needle grasp. That part is believed to be important in producing a pain-relieving effect. Acupuncture points are located on meridians; however, modern acupuncture may also be performed on myofascial trigger points, which are tight areas of connective tissue that can radiate pain....

Outside of flashbacks, players will see him in person when escaping from Konpeki Plaza, although protagonist V cannot defeat him there. Later, if the player chooses any of the Cyberpunk 2077 endings except The Reaper, Adam Smasher will serve as the final boss....
