The rituals connected to it induces a very strong placebo effect. Nothing more. It won't do anything to correct scoliosis, and it will have no effect on osteoporosis. But you may experience pain relief attributable to the placebo effect.
A factor you should take into consideration is the risk of complications such as necrosis (tissue death) of the ear cartilage. Even if the risk is small, it is there.
The needles are inserted in the outer part of your ear and earlobe. There's no danger of any sensitive parts being punctured or damaged.
For osteoporosis you need to take a lot more vitamin D3 (check out the articles at Mercola.com) and it's completely curable through diet. Osteopathic manipulation can help scoliosis tremedously by reducing the amount of curvature. Acupuncture will get rid of pain.
Acupuncture is absolutely amazing! I was a huge skeptic at first too, but my friend forced me into it. It works by applying those very thin needles to specific points on the body where the nerve endings are not sensitive. The pressure applied to these areas creates a divergent flow of energy in the body, and helps not only your body, but also your mind.
I highly recommend it!
