Does repitive acupuncture pattern lose effectiveness?

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

Those points don&#39t seem at all appropriate for anxiety - they are more for dampness and the digestive imbalances that cause that condition in Chinese terms which might be helpful to you in some ways but not for you as a whole. One thing that stands out is you are seeing a chiropractor for acupuncture - while there are exceptions to this, this is something I strongly do not recommend. In some areas chiropractors can practice with a disturbingly low amount of training with regards to Chinese Medicine. This generally leads to very lackluster results, particularly in things outside of trivial pain cases. The very fact that you are getting the exact same treatment time and time again (and too often I might add) is indicative of poor training. If you I misunderstood your question and you are seeing a fully trained and licensed acupuncturist - then see a different one.

If you consult a fully trained Chinese Medicine practitioner who ideally does acupuncture and herbal medicine you should be well on your way to feeling better within 3 months.
