Is Acupuncture safe?
Yes Acupuncture is both safe and effective. In the State of Florida the requirement to become a licensed Acupuncture Physician is well regulated. Most MD’s and Chiropractors are allowed to practice with only 100 hours of training, which in my view is highly inconsistent with the states mandate to protect the public. On the other hand Acupuncture Physician study for over 2700 hours at a Masters Level, and are required to take and pass the National exam. When you get acupuncture make sure that your doctor is both competently trained and has passed the NCCAOM exam.
