How long have you been in practice? I started studying natural health care when I was 17, became a macrobiotic chef at 20, a massage therapist at 25. I started my formal education in Oriental Medicine at 28, passed the state board exams at 31, and have been in practice about 20 years. Why did you choose this path?
Modern acupuncture uses sterile, very fine, surgical stainless steel needles slightly thicker than a human hair. The needles are used once on a patient, and then disposed. In trained hands, it is safe, effective and painless. Sometimes, rather than just inserting a needle into an acupoint, your doctor may choose to apply heat to the point, or stimulate it with very low voltage electricity (no more than is generated by a flashlight battery). These techniques are called "Moxibustion" and Electro-Stimulation.
Check out Richard Grossman's latest newsletter discussing autumn from a Traditional Chinese Medicine point of view. It's a different way of looking at the season, and I found it to be both interesting and informative. Dr. Grossman is my acupuncturist, and he is the best. I cannot say enough good things about his knowledge and practice.
