Patients plateau. It happens more than people talk about.

The first few sessions go well — progress is good, everyone feels confident. And then it stops. Every session starts to feel the same and you're not sure why.

In this episode we break down the real reason patients plateau in TCM — and it's almost never about the acupuncture failing. Most of the time the pattern has simply changed, and that means it's time to reassess.

We also talk about the other reason progress stalls that doesn't get discussed enough — when something in the patient's life is actively maintaining the pattern. And what that conversation actually looks like in clinic.

Plateaus aren't a dead end. They're a signal.
