We met Dr. Li today, who is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He explained a little about acupuncture and how it can be used to fix almost any problem in your body. He also did to practices on Hadeel and Dr. Flatt. It was really interesting because for Dr. Flatt she felt almost instant relief from her knee pain when the needles were removed. Whereas for Hadeel the relief wasn’t as great. This difference in acupuncture between traditional and what is mainly used in the U.S. Is depth of the needles. For traditional medicine the needles go however deep is needed until they hit a meridian point. For the majority of acupuncture in the U.S. The needles are only placed superficially. This does not allow the problem to be fixed, which could be why acupuncture is so ineffective in the U.S.
