It can be hard, impossible perhaps, at the beginning to know that you’re at the start of a tidal shift. It’s only in looking back and connecting the pivotal moments that you can see a challenging moment didn’t happen to you, it happened for you. It’s only later that you can see how attempting to solve a troublesome problem would take you down a path your imagination couldn’t dream up in that moment.
In this conversation with John Scott we take a trip in the Wayback Machine to a time when acupuncture was more of a curiosity than a career. We look at the troubles and challenges of the late 60’s and early 70’s and how the influences of those times created opportunities that would in turn lay the groundwork for the profession we enjoy today.
Listen into this discussion of flower power, entrepreneurship and good old American ingenuity and self-reliance.
I find micro systems very helpful in acupuncture. I always start my acupuncture treatment with auricular acupuncture. This helps to set up immediate relief for the patient right away. I’ve found using ear acupuncture improves results and patient success.
