Been going to a chiro for sciatica and he used acupuncture today. Is this wrong for a believer?

kinda same as yoga. stuff appears to have taoist/spiritual root...chaukras. but then has science stuff too. the thing w/ yoga is that most licensed instructors have to go thru the spiritual garbage as part of their license and so they open themselves up to garbage. you'd think that people that say they are christian practitioners would say, 'hey, i'll do the exercise stuff, but i'm not going to partake in all this other stuff just to get a license'. some do purport a 'christian yoga' and play christian music or whatever.... that's fine & i realize they have to use that term 'yoga' to be 'in the world' & perhaps attract people away from a bad kind... but back to acupuncture....LOL here is the history etc. about it: rheumatology.oxfordjournals.org/content/43/5/662.fullso what does a practitioner have to 'go through' to get officially licensed? is it purely a scientific thing, or do they get loaded up on a spiritual yoking that gives them some kind of demonic hook in their practicing? best thing to do would be to ask the doc if he had to have the chaukra study stuff in his training etc. the most important thing is that in any prodding, we aren't condemning or guilt tripping the doc or whatever cuz satan loves to wedge any relationship he can. a simple, 'i'm not sure i'm comfortable w/ practices that are based in a religion I don't agree with'.... if he did indeed go thru training yoked w/ that. sometimes we don't even have to talk w/ people about it...cuz the Lord will answer our prayers about the thing b4 then... so keep praying for His answer as well. the good thing is that we have authority. i've been to prayerwalk at pagan events...knowing i was going into a lion's den of sorts and the Lord kept us ever-protected. even if the doc hadda study the spiritual stuff & we don't feel he's 2 feet in w/ the tainted methodology... we can declare God's promises over us, call anything bad down and know we are good to go. again, ultimately, you want the Father's answer on the matter cuz even in research & asking we don't get the whole picture. my 2 cents anyways...not having a personal experience so maybe another would have an answer based on what God told them and why.
