Here is a short break down of how acupuncture influences the body in a range of contexts:
If you would like to try acupuncture it is your option to do so. You do not require a referral; you can self-refer. You can inform your doctor or consultant that you are having acupuncture. Many patients self-refer to be able to access acupuncture treatment at a high level and access my acupuncture treatment when they really need it. I am a fully qualified acupuncturist and my training and CPD includes triage and making a referral.
