Duties and Responsibilities:

Unlike conventional Western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition.

In addition to providing acupuncture therapy, practitioners help their patients achieve balance and wellness in their everyday lives.
