tackupuncture 

n. (alt. spelling: taccupuncture)
economy, budget, or "back-alley" accupuncture; utilizes corkboard tacks as opposed to traditional "pins" to perform the ancient eastern medical art. Most often practiced in meth clinics and elementary school classrooms. (Not advised without updated tetanus shots.)
Little Bobby's friends thought they were playing a prank when they allowed him to sit on the collection of thumbtacks they placed on his chair, unaware of the Zen-like soothing effects he was bound to receive from the effects of tackupuncture therapy.

tackupuncture 

Da randomly-administered "surgical treatment" dat da community bulletin board down at da town hall receives when everyone posts notices at various spots on its surface.
Unless either wind is an issue or a poster-sheet is unusually thick, large, heavy, etc., one should use only one or two pushpins to affix a notice to a bulletin board, in order to extend its useful life by reducing tackupuncture.

yackupuncture 

Refers to where you "needle" someone to quit flappin' his gums all da live-long day!
In da next-to-da-last book in da 26-volume "Sweet Pickles characters" series, it details da jabber-jawing habits of a huge woolly horned mammal. Not sure if yackupuncture would have been overly effective in slacking his constant barrage of joking, opining, and complaining, since he obviously enjoyed "flooding da airwaves" so much --- perhaps "yakupuncture" might have worked a bit better in his case?
