Research.......

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions and since its first arrival in the 1970's has gained in popularity so much that it is now used in many NHS general practices as well as in the majority of pain clinics and hospices in the UK. 

 

There is a good evidence base for the efficacy of traditional acupuncture for numerous conditions such as back pain, neck pain, migraine, breech presentation, nausea and vomiting, osteoarthritis, tennis elbow, post-operative pain and tension headache.acupuncture suffolk

Why membership of the British Acupuncture Council is so important

Unfortunately there is currently no statutory regulation for complementary and alternative medicine (with the exception of osteopathy and chiropractic). It is therefore essential to ensure that the acupuncturist you choose is suitably qualified and working to a high standard of competence and hygiene.

With over 3000 members the British Acupuncture Council is the UK's largest regulatory body for practitioners of traditional acupuncture and maintains extremely high standards of education, discipline, ethics and practice. Its aim is to ensure the health and safety of the public at all times.

When you choose a BAcC member you can be sure of:

  • a minimum of three years training to degree level including anatomy and physiology and other appropriate elements of western medicine.

  • adherence to the Council's Codes of Safe Practice and Professional Conduct.

  • compliance with current health and safety legislation.

  • full medical malpractice and public/products liabiltity insurance cover.

  • up-to-date practice skills maintained by mandatory continuing professional development.

The Professional Standards Authority created the Accredited Voluntary Register in order that members of the public can choose the services of practitioners who are on a register that has been independently assessed and approved.
