Medical Acupuncture

Medical or Western Acupuncture Is one of the styles of acupuncture. Medical Acupuncture as its name might suggest is not a subcategory for Medical Doctors or Osteopathic Doctors, but rather a style of acupuncture itself.

Acupuncture Medicine is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine that pre-dated over 2000-3000 years. Acupuncture has several different styles: Chinese or classical acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture, Korean acupuncture, Western or medical acupuncture.

Medical Acupuncture is a therapeutic modality involving the insertion of fine needles; it is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology.
