The Science Behind How Acupuncture Helps Relieve Pain: A Doctor Of Chinese Medicine Explains

We asked Dr. Daniel Hsu, a NY-based doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, to explain how acupuncture works.

I wished they would shut up and let the man explain. You can tell he’s super passionate about it and wanted to educate

He noticed too much interruption then he grabbed a needle and said "I am gonna calm down" very smart medication method.

If they had a full acupuncture treatment, they'll relax and let him talk!

Rachael, I think it's important that you know that you rush guests on your show a lot but the true reason why they run out of time because you keep interrupting them. I know you don't care and it's how you've run your show for years but it will be one of the major reasons why people watch less and less. We want to hear what the guests have to say as well. Not just chopped up bits of what they're saying because they keep getting interrupted. Thank you!

After giving birth with epidural i did got terrible lower back pain afterwards. Tried acupuncture just for experience not knowing that it could help me with my problem. One of the needle, i forgot where the dr. put it, but really, hit the same nerve i felt during my epidural and it’s like the needle flushed all of whatever blocked the nerve. It really made me feel better.

Acupuncture and laser treatment cured my dog of his paralysis. about eight months ago, the discs on my dog's spine became compressed and he became paralyzed of the hind legs. The veterinarian told me that he needed surgery, but I couldn't afford the astronomical cost of the surgery so I searched and found a veterinarian who specialized in integrated healthcare. She performed acupuncture on his with the application of a very low voltage to the needles and laser treatment. After about four sessions, my dog regained the use of his hind legs.

I just had an acupuncture done yesterday after 20 years of back pain, I’m 27 now, and I feel so great, I had just woke up and went straight to my appointment and I was so calm and relaxed that I knocked out when I wasn’t even tired 😂 I’m going again tomorrow for a follow up and I can’t wait 😊

Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling

Acupuncture and dry needling are often confused with each other. Both procedures involve the insertion of needles into the skin. However, there are some important differences between these two procedures.

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used for over 3000 years. It is based on the belief that there is a life force energy, known as qi, that flows through the body. The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance to the body by correcting any imbalances in the flow of qi.
Dry needling is a relatively new procedure that has only been used for the past few decades. It is based on the Western medical model of anatomy and physiology. The goal of dry needling is to release muscle tension and trigger points. There are some similarities between acupuncture and dry needling.

However, there are also some important differences. Acupuncture is a holistic approach to medicine that looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms of the disease. Dry needling is a more targeted approach that focuses on specific muscle groups.

Him and her especially kept interrupting the Doctor to ask new questions while he's still answering the previous ones, and to make stupid jokes that aren't even funny.

Let the damn man speak already, so we can learn.
