As there are different results from different acupunctures of course because acupuncture is a nonspecific physical stimulation after all. Normally there’s not any medication injected, its therapeutic results is closely related to the clinical experience and neither 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 doubts for each point stimulating its 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 go chi, therefore such art of acupuncture is like fishing, waiting for the bait to be bitten, and 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 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.
