Ou Ching-Chun

I have received A LOT of acupuncture. In one year, I received about 40 treatments (one per week). I have received treatments in a variety of settings including community acupuncture, and private sessions with professionals and students.
Ching Chun Ou is the first acupuncturist I have seen with 45 years of experience, trained in China, and then came to the US and trained again to practice here.
I like her A LOT. She’s been more effective in one treatment for my condition than any other acupuncturist I have seen previously. Really. I appreciate that she is efficient and does not necessarily want to see you every week. She told me to return in one month which is not financially in her best interest. Most acupuncturists have told me to return every week.
I like her technique. I don’t feel pain when she inserts the needle. She does want you to feel the zing, the energy. So she’ll turn the needle until you do but then as soon as you do, she stops turning the needle. And then you should be comfortable. By the way, you can’t feel the needle turning (or I don’t), I just feel the zap! She supports me through the zing which is no more than 3 seconds and then it goes away. Her philosophy is that if you don’t feel the zing acupuncture does not work.
I have received other treatments that I have not seen with other acupuncturists, and learned how some things in my foot show problems in other parts of my body. She prescribed herbs and tablets.
Her office is not frilly or zen like. There’s no background music or delicate water fall etc. It’s the opposite. I enjoy her, her straight forwardness and her optimism.
