One of my patients brought this article in to me from today’s Daily Mail. It was great to read such a positive article on how acupuncture works and how treatment can treat a huge variety of symptoms.

The Doctor who wrote the article spoke how he has completely changed his views on Chinese medicine and what huge benefits acupuncture can bring. He talks about the benefits for chronic pain, migraines, back pain, insomnia, gastrointestinal pain, blood pressure, heart disease, menopausal symptoms and many more. He also mentions the lack of any side effects of having acupuncture compared to taking some drug and medications.

He discusses how much positive research there is available and the lack of publicised research as acupuncture research isn’t funded or marketed by huge drugs companies so the benefits of acupuncture often get ignored.

Thank you Professor Rob Galloway for your article. We know it works and all my patients at my busy acupuncture clinic know it works, so it’s great to hear it from a medical professional.

The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) helps to protect the public by overseeing organisations that register and regulate people working in health and social care. The PSA works with statutory regulated healthcare professional organisations such as the General Medical Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Council, as well as self-regulated organisations such as the BAcC.

Accreditation means that the BAcC’s register meets the PSA’s benchmarks in governance, standard-setting, education and training, management, complaints and information.

The BAcC is committed to ensuring all patients receive the highest standard of professional care during their acupuncture treatment. Our Code of Professional Conduct governs ethical and professional behaviour, while the Code of Safe Practice sets benchmark standards for best practice in acupuncture.

All BAcC Members are bound by these codes.

To find your local BAcC registered practitioner head to our website and check out our practitioner search tool. https://acupuncture.org.uk/find-an-acupuncturist/
