Before graduated from Five Branches University of Chinese Medicine Graduate School and obtained my California Acupuncture Board license, I also systematically studied Western Medicine in Beijing Medical University for 5 years and went through several years' residency training in OB/GYN Department in Beijing 402 Hospital. Nowadays in America, although more and more people come to acupuncture clinics for help with their health problems, there are still some communication boundaries between Western and Eastern Medical systems. .

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
