Will I need other treatments besides acupuncture?

A trustworthy acupuncturist will always prioritize your health and well-being. They will want to know if you have undergone appropriate exams and consulted with a specialist before considering acupuncture as a treatment option. This shows their commitment to providing safe and effective care, as well as their respect for the recommendations of other healthcare professionals.

By understanding your medical history and previous treatments, they can tailor their acupuncture therapy to best suit your needs and ensure the best possible outcomes.

Please do not delay seeing a healthcare provider about a health problem. In most cases people use acupuncture along with other treatments. For instance, someone with chronic pain will likely take medications and see a physiotherapist AND do acupuncture. Someone with cancer would still receive cancer treatment but also use acupuncture (which has proved to be efficient to relieve side effects of treatments)

You should not postpone a medical visit or interrupt your treatment without talking to your doctor, even if acupuncture is helping you.
