What Qualifications should Acupuncturists have?
A fully qualified Acupuncture practitioner will always have a Lic.Ac or a BSc degree in Acupuncture. Please be aware that there are people advertising themselves as acupuncturists and practicing on the public with very minimal training. Any other letters or ‘qualifications’ do not relate to acupuncture.
Physiotherapists are not trained in acupuncture (although they often call it acupuncture). Physiotherapists learn a very simplified treatment, putting needles into muscles which is called ‘dry-needling’. Many of them have only completed a weekend course.

I am a member of the professional organisation The Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC) and also a fully registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP).
