Treating Seniors is a skill you need to learn and there are no books or courses to take.

Treating Pro Athletes gets you some prestige but the true test of your assessment and treatment skills as an acupuncturist (as well as your people skills) will be in treating an older population with sub-optimal health statuses.

I saw a new patient this week with posterior knee pain and his leg would internally rotate when he had been playing golf for a while.

It's not easy to treat a pain that the patient only feels at times when they are not in the clinic with you.

You have to go on their memory of where it hurts and what they are doing at that time.

On palpation there was no pain to reproduce. Length testing and muscle testing showed nothing. 

I had to rely on Dr. Travell to figure it out.

If you're sticking needles into the site of pain you're waving the flag of surrender.

If you know the cause of the pain, you should be getting good/great results in your first treatment and have it resolved or greatly improved very quickly soon after, in most cases.

If you are sticking needles into things where they hurt, you're likely missing the real cause of the problem. 

Yes, I'm going to piss people off. But Janda and Lewit were right. "He who treats the site of pain is often lost"!
