What is an Acupuncturist?

Acupuncturists are highly trained healthcare professionals who apply the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help patients manage pain, recover from illness, and maintain long-term wellness. Through acupuncture and other holistic techniques, they support the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.

These practitioners are skilled in both traditional diagnostic methods and modern therapeutic tools. They are trained to care for people of all ages—from infants to the elderly—and take a whole-person approach to each treatment.
