In my practice, it is interesting to see that once patients receive a number of acupuncture treatments, they often have further questions about the medicine as a whole – how it works, what it can treat, level of training required to become an acupuncturist, etc. (All very good questions.) I truly love this part of the process because it is fun to educate patients and empower them. One resource that I have found invaluable is the website www.acufinder.com. It contains a wealth of information on acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from finding a practitioner (and credentialing to look for) to looking up different conditions that it can treat. In addition, there is a “top 10 list” of common questions that many people have before their first acupuncture visit. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn more about acupuncture and TCM and how it can improve their health and overall wellbeing.
