Medical_acupuncture Medical acupuncture is acupuncture performed by a physician or other licensed health care professional who has training in the medical/health sciences. Physicians also may have training in acupuncture, but most jurisdictions do not require physicians to obtain training in the field prior to treating patients using acupuncture. Such a health professional may use one or the other approach, or a combination of both, to treat an dysfunction or illness.
