Looking for recommendations for a good facility for accupuncture????
Jessica A. replied:
To find a fully trained acupuncturist, go to someone that is an L.Ac. (Licensed Acupuncturist.) Their training is much more in depth than that of an M.D. or chiropractor that is allowed to do acupuncture with much less training due to their medical or chiropractic licenses. And for goodness sake, don't get acupuncture or "dry needling" from a physical therapist. Their training is very minimal and can present safety issues. I'm an L.Ac. in Phoenix. Grew up in Crystal Lake. You can click on this link for information on training received. Click on "Know your Acupuncturist" on the menu on the left hand side. http://www.ccaom.org/
