	Acupuncturist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acupuncturists may practice other modalities in traditional Chinese medicine as well, or may be medical acupuncturists, who are trained in allopathic medicine but also practice acupuncture in a simplified form.
		Acupuncturists who are not Western medical practitioners usually complete three or four years of acupuncture school.
		Abbreviations for acupuncturist include "L.Ac." which stands for Licensed Acupuncturist, "M.Ac." which refers to a Master's degree in acupuncture, "M.S.Ac." which refers to a Master's of Science in acupuncture, "O.M.D." which means Oriental Medical Doctor, and "Dipl.

	An Introduction to Acupuncture and How It Works
		The acupuncturist, while handling the needle should experience a response called "getting qi." In this case, the needle seems to get pulled by the body, and this may be understood in modern terms as the result of muscle responses secondary to the local nervous system interaction.
		However, acupuncturists have identified other sets of points, such as those in the outer ear, which seem to be mapped to the whole body.
		Similarly, acupuncturists have identified zones of treatment (for example, on the scalp or on the hand) that correspond to large areas of the body, and this may also be more easily explained because there are connections from the spinal column to various parts of the body which might have secondary branches elsewhere.

		Sections 18.12--18.15 would be amended and §§ 18.16 and 18.17 (relating to responsibilities of acupuncturist supervisor; and notice responsibilities) would be deleted to delete references to acupuncturist supervisor and provisions pertaining to the supervision of the practice of acupuncture.
		An acupuncturist who is not a medical doctor shall wear a tag or badge with lettering clearly visible to the patient bearing his name and the title ''acupuncturist.'' The use of the word doctor on this tag or badge is prohibited.
		It is the responsibility of the acupuncturist and not of the acupuncturist supervisor to conduct an acupuncture evaluation and to perform acupuncture treatment.

	Acupuncture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most modern acupuncturists use disposable stainless steel needles of very fine diameter (approximately.015"), sterilized with ethylene oxide or by autoclave.
		However, in many countries anyone can call himself an acupuncturist, there are no legal requirements with regard to training and education, nor are licensing boards regulated in any way, making it very hard to assess the actual value of licenses and training of acupuncturists.
		In short, the treatment and diagnosis of acupuncturists are not based on concepts that blend well with those used by contemporary Western medical science.

	TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACUPUNCTURIST
		The acupuncturist is not doing the healing, rather it is the patient who is responsible for their own healing.
		An acupuncturist should warn the patient that this could happen and instruct them to breathe deeply into the area for a few minutes until the discomfort dissipates.
		An acupuncturist must pay close attention and be sensitive to the not only the appropriate amount of stimulation needed to treat a particular condition, but also the needle tolerance of the recipient.

	A World of Acupuncture - How to choose an Acupuncturist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Often, one of the best guidelines to use in choosing an acupuncturist is to ask for referrals from friends and family who have been treated by the practitioner.
		Now that is not to say that a newly certified acupuncturist does not possess the skills to effectively treat a patient, but as in most areas of life, increased practice enables the acupuncturist to have treated a wide variety of conditions, and symptoms and may allow them a keener insight into your situation.
		It is of utmost importance that the acupuncturist is aware of these variances, before beginning treatment, in order to effectively restore balance and harmony in the body.

		At the end of the session, the acupuncturist may prescribe herbal therapies for the patient to use at home.

		Some acupuncturists work alone and perform all of the office duties; others work as part of a larger team with support staff to help them.

		Most acupuncturists espouse the traditional Chinese view of health and disease and consider acupuncture, herbal medicine, and related practices to be valid approaches to the full gamut of disease.
		A parallel survey of 197 acupuncturists, who are more apt to see immediate complications, yielded 132 cases of fainting, 26 cases of increased pain, 8 cases of pneumothorax, and 45 other adverse results [12].

	An Acupuncturist's Perspective on Migraine
		While a headache may sometimes be a warning sign of a more serious medical condition, most types of headache seen by an acupuncturist are either a tension headache, migraine, or a combination of both.
		Migraine is thought to be associated with an abnormal spasm of the blood vessels in the brain and is therefore referred to as a "vascular headache".
		Tanaka conducted a research study examining the use of a shallow needle insertion technique for tension-type headache, which was published in the International Journal of Neuroscience.

		Your acupuncturist will probably get things started by asking a lot of questions about your personal and family medical history; recent events that might have contributed to your illness; and how you're responding to various stimuli, such as heat and cold.
		Keep in mind, too, that most acupuncturists see needle therapy as just one part of treatment; yours might also suggest herbs, vitamin or mineral supplements, and changes in diet and exercise.
		If your acupuncturist recommends an herbal remedy, be sure to mention any other drugs or herbs you're taking to avoid potentially harmful interactions.

		Susan Slavet had a stroke that paralyzed one arm, but when her acupuncturist places needles in a few choice points, she can actually move it a little.

		It's still unknown whether Slavet will regain any use of her arm, but the pain relief she experiences up to three days after her treatments is what keeps her coming back.

	Acupuncture treatment information from BUPA UK
		Though the treatment may be completely painless, some acupuncturists attempt to produce a sensation called “de Qi” which is a heaviness, soreness or heat around the needle and is believed to be a sign that the acupuncture point has been correctly needled.
		Traditional acupuncturists may use additional techniques such as moxibation; the burning of an herb just above the surface of the skin, either attached to an acupuncture needle or held in a cigar shaped stick.
		Alternatively, the acupuncturist may feel for tender 'trigger' points in the tissues under the skin.
