What should I look for in an acupuncturist?

You should always check the following from your acupuncturist and herbalist:

• they are fully insured and registered with the relevant regulatory bodies
• details of qualifications and the duration of training they have undertaken for their therapies
• whether they have had experience in treating the problem that you are suffering from and what their success rate is like
• how many treatments they would expect you to need before you will notice improvements.
