Hello, could you please explain to me what a doctor is? Do you believe that a doctor is someone who PRACTICES medicine under the authority of a degree obtained after many years of study? Learning standards of care handed down to them by others that were also PRACTICING? I think that is perfectly acceptable. Practice is important. Western medicine is in the toddler stage compared to the 2000 year art of acupuncture. So im saying that you are quite right . Referring to himself as a doctor is self deprivation. Then again, he may have graduated from medical school. I dont know. I do know that the American Medical Association from the beginning has not had any interest in health. Just money. I also wonder how much information you personally can obtain when your prime objective seems to be finding fault . If you are currently working towards a medical degree, i understand. The loss of that much money and sleep deprivation car leave one a bit foggy. Good luck to you. Thats what PRACTICING MEDICINE is all about.

Question do acupunctures use vibrations with the seems that at some point in time?I saw them flick the needles and make them vibrate.Him I remembering something that I didn't see?

I went to an acupuncture centre for foot reflexology and they gave me what looks like tea pills to help with pain/blood circulation is it safe to take?

I go to UCLA for acupuncture and they’ve never asked to see my tongue or taken my pulse. Also, they don’t incorporate any herbal teas of any kind. Should I go somewhere else?

Thank you so much for the video. I am to go to my first treatment Friday, I actually look forward to it now. Also I enjoyed the funness of your video, made me smile.

Thank you very much. Going to my 6th appointment. Still have pain but, still have faith in acupuncture.

you have spleen qi deficiency signs :)

I wanna thank you for making this video I found it very helpful i'm on one and i'm headed as we speak to my first session

Hey Nick, stop calling yourself a "doctor". You are not a doctor. You did not go to medical school. Stop being misleading!

I have my first acupuncture treatment tomorrow! You have eased my mind doc! I appreciate you! 😊

Hello my dear sir how to treat croin pain

This was awesome

Hello much enjoyed take care of yourself thank you

Never ever taken a freaking nap

Thank you so much for your help. ❤

Tea pills can be concentrated, it can be hard to nearly impossible to consume large amounts of raw herbs. Not to mention the stomach issues you’ll have if you do get them down. Granules are usually extracted the same way as tea pills except the extract is crushed instead of formed into a pill. And you strain your raw herbs anyway? So you’re not consuming the whole herb. You’re driving a tea and getting less than is probably in a concentrated tea pill. You need to think about what you’re saying here. Honestly no offense meant but you’re way off. That said, if it’s working for you and you’re happy and healthy then that’s all that matters.

Love this. Where did you go, though? Why arent you still making videos?

Thank you so much for this!!!

I have had about 5 treatments so far bc I have always been scared of needles and a bit skeptical on the results. I am trying it now bc I need my dominant shoulder back to help with a loved one by pushing them up a very incined ramp in a wheelchair. My 1st visit had no paperwork nor waa it much different from the other visits...no medical questions asked, just not much. I had a fall and it affected my shoulder..no bone broken or dislocated. Why don’t I see results ?

This did help a lot! Now I just have to get the nerve to call my local acupuncturist and ask if they take my insurance. 🙂 Silly, but I am shy anyway, so cold calling isn't easy for me. Anyway, I really appreciate this information! I have started drinking an herbal tea made from rooibos, astralagus, and self-heal. It's only been a few days, but it does seem to be helping me feel less exhausted. I have been sick for years, so I don't expect it to go away all at once. Any improvement is a good thing.

You lost me at MRIs and CTs are new age stuff

Thanks so much for this video! I have anxiety with trying new things and I feel much more prepared for my first appointment!

Hi Nick I would really appreciate your response. I had a one hour acupuncture session at a Chinese clinic and was prescribed herbs for what was diagnosed as chronic eczema. He also said my digestion is very slow. It is not obvious my skin is scaly and extensively dry, but yes I would agree eczema, not sure how chronic. I had a very itchy neck and And the skin tone had darkened like a deep tan on face & on my neck. Although, no itching on my face at all. Now 2nd day after the acupuncture and taking two does of the herbs, I have been literally burning up at night in bed & have an intense itchy burning sensation on the neck and way down my chest. It’s extremely painful. Is this normal?

Great video

Excellent! Thank you!

Thank you. Loved my first session. How many times or sessions does one need?

I'm considering starting acupuncture for neck, shoulder & back pain. This video was so informative and easy to understand! Thank you

Great video!!! Your confidence is awesome

Absolutely wonderful instruction and information! However, how often is this treatment needed for back pain? How long does the relief last between treatments? How, do I recognize a true and effective therapist?

Thx

Thank you for the ten tips I watched some other videos on acupuncture and was even more hesitant but you mentioned an most of the comments say acupuncture has helped me I had an experience at a webinar and he did the pulse and tongue test so I was not shocked and he told me I dod not drink enough water that’s pretty much the only thing I drink. he did mention 64 ounces but for me that is impossible if I consume 48 ounces I spend 50% or more bathroom visits so what would you recommend because it seems impossible to consume enough water? Thank you Brena

sinus issues and acid reflux does acupuncture help?

Amazing thank you 🙏

Great video, prepared me well for the first appointment. Went well.

Hi I'm new hear and I'm gonna have my first acupuncture today for anxiety, dizziness and chronic pains. Taking ginkgo biloba capsules and lemon balm at night. Any herbs good for my condition Dr.? Tjamks in advance. 😊

In terms of food prior to the appointment, is it okay to have a light meal before? Perhaps 2h prior?

Such an enjoyable video…thank you ❤

This video was very informative. I had acupuncture and cupping for the first time this week and it hurt like hell😳😳 I got one needle in my butt crack and one at the top of my glutes and they were super painful! Is this abnormal?

Just had my first appointment and no tongue and pulse check.

Well I wish my first acupuncture would have been a good one. I had lower back pain, the day after the first acupuncture I had extreme jolts of pain in the lower back which were worse than what I had originally. It threw me back 3 months to the acute stage of my back pain. Unfortunately I’m not going back. 😮

I will be doing my first treatment soon. Thank you for the information. I do have a question though, what are the best herbs for high blood sugar and high blood pressure. Thank you.

Ey bitch if the planet earth is a body in the american native belief use a spirited accupuncture on the earth to bring forth flow to the rivers drying up on the planet. Quick someone call an indian native. Maybe. An expert on accupunture doh. Nah changed my mind the expert speaking in the video is aight. Oh yeah how does accupunture work n. Pressure points on the earths body. Manipulating water or river flow. Biatch. Oh yeah im a castrator of police

My acupuncture never checks my tongue or pulse.

Thank you I definitely feel more calm and prepare 😊 I have my first season today

We like tea and we like cats and we're very excited to try acupuncture!!!!🥂☕🐱💖One suspects it might take one up to the next level 👍🦋💡

Hi! I have just found your channel and really enjoying listening to your mini lectures. Would you mind filming a video and lecturing on the concept of Qi and the meridians of the body in relation to acupuncture? Thank you so much!

I have my appointment in 45 minutes! I am nervous since I have Tourette’s! Have you ever had clients that twitch sometimes? How do you deal or help with that? How do they handle that?

Spot on doc. I always feel great after a treatment. My primary never sat and reviewed my health history like my acupuncturist did. I was skeptical and curious, but it's unbelievable how much improvement has been achieved in just a few treatments. I always look forward to my visit.

Dr. Nick Spurlock, at 8.52 Please check what your words typed out are...It doesn't match what you are saying.

My acu doctor puts a bolster under my knees but while I’m lying there I get so uncomfortable, it’s a big part of the reason I didn’t go back It also hurts a little for me but that’s partly psychological I think Plus I feel he just puts pins in me and doesn’t try hard enough to help me in other ways
