Question

Mrs. Dobson has been struggling with pain over the past six weeks. She was in an automobile accident and suffered some injuries to her back. The patient is tired of the pain and is searching for some alternatives to traditional medicine. She asks whether you are an advocate of acupuncture and goes on to state that a friend had acupuncture for some pain she was having and feels much better now. You know that your physician is not a huge fan of acupuncture but is not totally opposed to it either.
How would you respond to the patient’s question?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tell her that you will speak to the physician about getting acupuncture and any other related therapy that would help.
