Acupuncture is like dancing. Ultimately rewarding, but it can take some time to learn the steps.
Some issues are simple and routine, like line dancing or contra, call and response. A person comes in with an everyday problem that is routine and easily treated.
Some issues are more nuanced, like ballet (or whatever the latest TikTok dance challenge is), where something is an issue some of the time but not others and is only a problem some of the time, or under certain circumstances. This might take some more time to work through, but it's workable.
Other issues are like a cha-cha. Symptoms come and go (sometimes without rhyme or reason), and it may feel like two steps forward and one step back (or even 1 step forward and 2 steps back). They're challenging. They're frustrating. It may make us want to quit. But with some time, attention to detail and maybe some outside resources, success can ultimately be achieved. But these issues can take the longest to resolve, particularly if they're longer-standing.
Whatever obstacle you're having, we're here for you. And if you're feeling up to it, we can balter and boogie together.
