InicioCentro de informaciónBiblioteca del bienestar Acupuncturist An acupuncturist is a health professional who applies theories of traditional Chinese medicine in the form of acupuncture. Acupuncture is a procedure in which thin needles are inserted into specific parts of the body to relieve pain and treat illness. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe acupuncture unblocks and balances the flow of energy (chi or qi), which flows through the body along pathways called meridians. Western medicine practitioners theorize that acupuncture reduces pain through biological mechanisms, perhaps involving stimulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, and changes in neurotransmitters, hormones, or immune function. Acupuncturists may have many different credentials, including L.Ac., Lic.Ac., C.A., Dipl.Ac., M.Ac., or AAMA. Some states require acupuncturists to be licensed by the board of medical examiners. Many require educational background in acupuncture science and Western science along with extensive clinical training. In some states, acupuncturists must also pass an exam given by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) before they are granted licensure. NCCAOM certification means that a person has met national standards for safe and competent practice in his or her field. Acupuncturists may also complete a clean needle technique (CNT) course administered by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. When choosing an acupuncturist, it is important to check credentials, especially in states with less rigorous requirements. A physician acupuncturist is a doctor of medicine or podiatry or an osteopathic doctor who has fulfilled the physician requirements for licensure to practice acupuncture that have been set by the state's medical board. These doctors study acupuncture and incorporate it into their medical practice. This information does not replace the advice of a doctor.

Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question. Acupuncture Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient's skin at specific points on the body, and the needles are inserted to various depths. The medical community is not in conclusive agreement about how acupuncture works scientifically. However, we know that it does have some therapeutic benefits, including pain relief. According to WHO, acupuncture is effective for treating 28 conditions, while evidence indicates it may have an effective therapeutic value for many more. People with tension, headaches or migraines may find acupuncture to be very effective in alleviating their symptoms. Another study found that twice weekly acupuncture treatments relieve debilitating symptoms of zerostomia - severe dry mouth - among patients treated with head and neck cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as chi or qi. Qi is said to flow through pathways in the human body. Through 350 acupuncture points in the body, these pathways and energy flows may be accessed. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of the forces. If needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations, it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance. In Western societies and several other parts of the world, acupuncture is explained, including concepts of neuroscience. Acupuncture points are seen by Western practitioners as places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue can be stimulated. Acupuncture practitioners say that the stimulation increases blood flow while at the same time triggering the activity of our own body's natural painkillers.V.
