Acupuncture

Online Research

An acupuncturist is a complementary health practitioner who takes a holistic approach to the maintenance of health and the management of disease. The focus is on the individual rather than the illness and the aim is to improve the person's overall well being.

Acupuncture is an ancient therapy based on the theory that the body depends on vital energy, known as qi, being in balance. If there is pain or illness, acupuncturists see this as a sign that the body is out of balance. To correct this they insert fine needles into acupuncture points, which restore the flow of qi to then trigger the body's natural healing process.

The correct manipulation of qi can treat a range of emotional and physical conditions, such as:

Muscle-skeletal disorders

Respiratory and circulatory disorders;

Gastrointestinal disorders;

Gynecological disorders;

Neurological and stress-related disorders;

The relief of pain and allergies.

An acupuncturist’s salary is usually around $41,100 to $114,380 but a normal acupuncturist makes $86,720

Acupuncturists are trained in anatomy, physiology, and many other areas of science and medicine. They have comprehensive knowledge about the nervous system (i.e., central nervous system and peripheral nervous system) and the vascular system (i.e., deep vascular system and superficial vascular system) and understand the mechanism of action between insertion of acupuncture needles and the reactions of body tissues and nerves.

Education and training in acupuncture takes several years. Acupuncturists undergo training in a number of different areas, including acupuncture treatment, clinical acupuncture, diagnosis and evaluation, needle placement, stimulation techniques, and sterilization procedures.

In the United States, there are a number of accredited schools that offer education and training programs in acupuncture. These programs usually take about 4 years to complete. After successful completion of an acupuncture program, students are awarded a Master of Science in Acupuncture. A few schools also offer advanced education and training, leading to a doctorate degree in acupuncture. To practice acupuncture in the United States, students must then take and pass a state licensing examination.

I wouldn’t like to be an acupuncturist because It would probably be boring for me I would rather be doing something bigger.

Out of all the New York police department and New York fire department 23 brave officers and 236 courageous firefighters went inside the building to help.
