Acupuncture Schools Teach Complementary Medicine
As the practice of acupuncture gains acceptance in the United States, it is not surprising that it can be used as a complement to traditional western medicine. Acupuncture schools in the United States and Canada now teach this traditional Chinese art of healing that has been practiced in China for possibly as many as 5,000 years.
Although the practice of acupuncture did not appear in the United States until well into the 20th century, many western acupuncture schools now maintain close affiliations with schools in China. Occasionally, students are able to intern in China with their colleagues as a part of their acupuncture programs of study.
Experiments have shown that the brain does respond to acupuncture with reduced pain, and there are now several medical colleges in the United States that provide acupuncture classes for physicians and dentists. Hospitals also offer acupuncture during surgery and as a complementary therapy for treatment of pain.
