Finding The Appropriate Path To Discovering A Good Acupuncturist

By Joe Smith


You just got that new job, and you have to see an acupuncturist quickly. What do you do if you do not have one? You can utilize the following ideas to locate the right acupuncturist, since you need one today.

If there is an acupuncture office in your area that you trust, call the acupuncture office referral service to find out what acupuncturists they would recommend. Chances are if you are satisfied with the acupuncture office's care, you will also be pleased with other acupuncturists recommended by that acupuncture office.

The best acupuncturists always seem healthy and vibrant. You want an acupuncturist who practices what he preaches. If your acupuncturist is out of shape, smokes, or has a problem with alcohol, you better believe he doesn't have the ability to give you the best care. Find an acupuncturist who knows how to keep himself healthy. You can trust that he knows how to keep you healthy, too.

Does your offer provide any sort of entertainment while you're waiting in his office? Not just magazines and daytime soaps, but things above and beyond that? Good acupuncturists want you to feel at ease while you're waiting on their care. They understand the stress you might be feeling when you come to their office. If they want you to be relaxed, it's because they want to provide outstanding care.



When looking to see if an acupuncturist is board certified remember that empathy and respect are not measurable through a test. Acupuncturists do not have to be board certified - some have not taken it, some may have failed. Do not base your judgment on this alone.

Check with your neighbors. They live in the general area and can point you in the direction of local acupuncturists they see. You can find out what types of insurance the acupuncturist accepts, if they have nighttime and weekend hours, and if they accept emergency patients.

Do not eat or drink anything before a major surgery. Your acupuncturist and/or surgeon will remind you of this before the operation but it is vital that you follow this rule. Failing to follow this rule can directly have fatal and life-threatening consequences.

Some patients are put off by revealing intimate information with acupuncturists of the opposite sex. Keep this in mind if you feel you may be uncomfortable by this during your search for an acupuncturist as it may hinder the relationship you can build with your acupuncturist.

[When prescribing acupuncturistine, a good acupuncturist will take the time to educate the patient about it. They will explain the reason the acupuncturistine is being prescribed, how to take it, how long and how often the patient needs to take it, and possible side effects brought about by the acupuncturistine. The acupuncturist will answer questions and alleviate any fears that the patient has regarding the acupuncturistine.
