Acupuncture Clinic Marketing That Actually Runs Itself
Generic marketing agencies don’t know the difference between a Shang Han Lun formula and a supplement stack. They produce sunset-and-quote content that looks like wellness influencers — not clinical medicine. Your patients deserve better. Your practice deserves better.
lu·social is done-for-you social media management and marketing automation for acupuncturists, herbalists, and CAM clinics. Built by a 20-year licensed acupuncturist who built it for his own clinic first, then opened it to a limited founder cohort.
Why acupuncturist marketing is different
Clinical social media content has to clear a bar that general marketing agencies don’t even know exists:
- Scope of practice. Every claim has to stay within what acupuncturists and herbalists can legally say.
- Clinical credibility. Patients seeking acupuncture and herbal medicine can tell the difference between someone who understands constitutional diagnosis and someone who scraped a WebMD article.
- Educational tone. The content that builds trust in a CAM clinic is educational — pulse diagnosis, pattern recognition, the difference between classical and modern TCM. It’s not lifestyle content.
- Authentic voice. Your clinic sounds like your clinic, not a generic wellness brand.
lu·social clears all four bars. The editorial team includes a licensed acupuncturist. The content engine is built on real clinical knowledge — not ChatGPT scraping wellness blogs.
Social media automation for acupuncture clinics
The platform runs a content automation pipeline that produces clinic social media without practitioner time:
- Onboard once (30 minutes) — you describe your modalities, patient population, clinical voice, and off-limits topics
- The platform generates content — minimum 4 posts + 1 reel per week, drawn from real clinical knowledge calibrated to your voice
- You review in 10 minutes — approve, skip, or send feedback via your dashboard
- Metricool publishes automatically — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, on your schedule
- You see analytics in Metricool — reach, engagement, audience growth, in the dashboard you own
We never log into your clinic accounts. You own everything. The automation runs — you treat patients.

See it running on real clinic accounts
lu·social already produces social media for two live properties. The feeds below are direct output from the same platform Founder Clinics receive:
- Makari Wellness — Michael’s own acupuncture + herbalism clinic (20+ years): Instagram · YouTube · Facebook
- Rootworth — classical Chinese medicine movement: Instagram
Scroll either feed. That is what lands in your clinic’s accounts — calibrated to your voice, not Makari’s.
