Why Dr. Xie?
The effective rates of acupuncture vary widely. They depend on the type of conditions treated and many other factors, including the experience of the acupuncturist who is responsible for needling and performing other modalities. Although the locations of all acupuncture points are standardized, the right point-combinations and appropriate needling techniques and stimulations to the points are the most important factors for a successful acupuncture treatment. When practicing Chinese herbs, most patients are treated with individually tailored Chinese herbal formulas based on his/her individual conditions. That is why it is important to be seen by an experienced practitioner.
