Chinese medicine in general is often more about the attention each patient gets. Someone touches you, listens to you, takes you seriously, helps form your thoughts around the belief that there is a solution, even if it takes time, and teaches you along the way to take better care of yourself. Acupuncture involves a lot of touching, some pain, pressure point relief and also stress relief, which I believe is one of the worst enemies of the human mind and body when it becomes chronic. It is a whole package, not just in and out of a sterile office for 15 to 30 minutes after waiting two hours past your appointment. Obs, sarcasm.
