Acupuncture / Acupucturist?

Question

What is the difference? My wife suffers from migraines and we tried almost everything....So when I was looking up Acupuncture under my insurance there are doctors listed under "Acupuncture" and there are doctors listed under "Acupuncturists" is there a difference???? Why would they be seperate?

Answer 1

I think, there should be no difference.

You can try our Distant Reiki Healing . I am already treating a patient In US who has  Migrain High BP, and pain in back. And with our Distant Reiki Healing he is having wonderful results.  

With love and light...

Answer 2

I don't think there is a difference.  

Any alt med will produce the placebo effect thus making her fell a bit better.

Answer 3

It is possible that the insurance company is differentiating between MD's who include acupuncture in their practices, and actual licensed/board certified Acupuncturists.

Many MD's, but by no means all, who incorporate acupuncture in their practices have less than 500 combined hours of education and clinical practice focused on Oriental Medicine.

Most states (US) require that Acupuncturists be board certified and completed an accredited educational program.  They generally have greater than 2000 hours of focused education and clinical practice in Oriental Medicine.
