Japanese Acupuncture, Arizona (日本鍼灸)


Many people are speculative how and why acupuncture works.
For example, sciatic pain is a compression of vertebras (mostly L-4/5 or L-5/S-1:  don't need an X-ray to know it).  Without a decompression of the vertebras involved, people wonder how acupuncture reduces pain.  For the answer, I will ask you: how does a placebo, usually a sugar pill, work for many people?  Sugar does not decompress vertebras.  If you can answer that, you have a right to ask how acupuncture works.  When you visit any acupuncturist, let go of your notion of western logic and methods.  They are not helping you, and that is why you call an acupuncturist. Any preconception you might have visiting an acupuncture clinic will work against you.  Let it go, and instead, experience something that has been working for more than 2000 years, far longer than western medicine.
