Acupuncture is an ancient medical art, and there are many approaches to learning and practicing it. Medical Acupuncture is the term used to describe acupuncture performed by a doctor trained and licensed in Western medicine who has also had thorough training in acupuncture as a specialty practice. Such a doctor can use one or the other approach, or a combination of both as the need arises, to treat an illness or chronic condition.
