A member asked:
Are asian acupuncture clinics reliable? i am considering going there for my back pain and don't want to take meds.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below.: Since acupuncture began in china, there are many asian acupuncture clinics. My patients have reported many excellent experiences from those locations. There is a new generation of acupuncturists in the us - physicians from a variety of specialties who have secondary training in acupuncture. The acupuncturist needs to be knowledgable, experienced and be a gentle needler.
