How do I choose an acupuncturist?

When selecting an acupuncturist, it is important to consider their level of seriousness, qualifications, and the attention they give to your needs.

A good acupuncturist should take the time to thoroughly assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific health concerns. They should also have the necessary qualifications and certifications to practice acupuncture, ensuring that they have the knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective treatments.

Additionally, a serious and attentive acupuncturist will listen to your feedback and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible results. It is important to do thorough research and ask for recommendations to find a reputable acupuncturist who prioritizes your well-being and offers high-quality care.

- Interview the practitioner. Ask what your TCM diagnosis is, what the treatment involves, how likely it is to improve your condition and how much it will cost.

- A good practitioner will take the time to observe you, talk to you, check your tongue and pulse, and give you advice on Chinese dietetics or herbal pharmacopoeia.

- A TCM practitioner must stick to TCM and not sell unrelated treatments or ask you to stop taking prescribed medicines.

- Find out whether your insurance will cover acupuncture, as it is not reimbursed by the CNS.
