Practice by Others
Medical doctors and osteopaths may practice acupuncture in Utah without
any specific training but may not use the term "acupuncturist."
A chiropractor may practice acupuncture but may not claim to be a licensed acupuncturist without an acupuncture license.
NOTE: Look for a physician with
formal training in the practice of acupuncture. Acupuncture and
Oriental medicine is an art and a science that takes years to master.
While any licensed physician can stick needles into you, for a positive
experience and results, find an acupuncturist with experience treating a similar condition (with acupuncture) to what you have.
