Does your provider really listen, or really care?
No one would argue that having an acupuncturist and doctor that knows how to help you is very important... What if they don't really take the time to listen to what is wrong?... What if they are just putting needles where the pain is? Will the treatment be effective? 
This kind of treatment is equivalent to prescribing a medication at 1/4 the dose and expecting the same result as the full dose.
