Acupuncture

Patients with health problems don't need to wait on pins and needles to experience relief. When you become a licensed acupuncturist, you can help hurting people find healing through the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture, which involves inserting fine needles through the skin at specific points to relieve pain and restore circulation and balance of energy.

In fact, according to the World Health Organization, acupuncturists and other traditional Oriental medicine practitioners are able to treat over 43 common disorders. See for yourself:

- Addictions to substances such as alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs can be treated by acupuncturists.
- Acupuncture has demonstrated results in treating circulatory disorders such as anemia, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis, and hypertension.
- Disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, and nervous system, such as arthritis; dizziness; insomnia; migraines; neuralgia; and low-back, neck, and shoulder pain respond well to acupuncture treatment.
- Acupuncturists also offer healing for emotional and psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.
- Eye, ear, nose, and throat disorders can even be treated with acupuncture.
- Gastrointestinal disorders, such as anorexia, chronic diarrhea, constipation, food allergies, gastritis, gastrointestinal weakness, indigestion, and peptic ulcers can be treated by acupuncturists.
- Respiratory disorders such as allergies, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and sinusitis respond well to acupuncture treatment.

Stay sharp with a cutting-edge career in acupuncture.
