Transcript: Are there are different results from different
acupunctures? Of course, because acupuncture is a non-specific
physical stimulation after all. Namely, no any medication injection.
Its therapeutic results is closely related to the clinical experience
and needle-manipulating skills of the practitioner. For the same areas
treated, there are various selections of acu-points and techniques
such as needle lifting, thrusting or rotating and so on. Because there
are certain needling depths or directions for each point stimulated,
the effect would not be obtained unless the sensitivity center of it
is precisely hit. At that time the practitioner can feel a tense and a
dragging sensation along the needle. Ancient Chinese called it deqi,
therefore such art of acupuncture is like fishing, waiting for the
bait to be bitten, this is why there is a large difference of
results between different levels of practitioners. For example, one
patient who took 10 sessions of treatment from one practitioner
without obvious results might be cured by another practitioner with
only one session. A prior consultation or investigation of
testimonials is often advised to determine the practitioner's true
credentials.
