Why did my other acupuncturist do things differently?
We get this question a lot. Did you know that there are more than 12 different styles of acupuncture? This means that when you go to see other acupuncturists they may use different points, they may use more or less needles, they may recommend that you keep the needles in for longer or shorter times, etc. Different styles of acupuncture come with different recommendations. If we give you recommendations about your treatments, the advice applies specifically to your treatments with us. If a practitioner at another clinic does it differently, that is ok! They are advising you based on the best recommendations for the style they practice at their clinic. This is one of the wonderful things about acupuncture, it is custom tailored rather than a one size fits all!
