New to acupuncture?

If you never had acupuncture before, finding an acupuncturist can be a bit of a gamble in Spain and actually most European countries.Since there is no registration of the profession here and very little self regulation, anyone can set up as a acupuncturist.It is important you ask questions when making an appointment. Ask about their education, are they a member of a reputable organization?Can they help you with your problem, etc.
Some doctors, physiotherapists, and chiropractors do some acupuncture quite often with very little or no training.If you want acupuncture or want to know if your problem can be helped by acupuncture, see an acupuncturist, no one else can give you a better treatment!
