About Medical Acupuncture

According to the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture (AAMA):

"Medical acupuncture is the clinical discipline of acupuncture as practiced by a physician who is also trained and licensed in western medicine. The medical acupuncture physician uniquely offers a comprehensive approach to healthcare, which combines classic and modern forms of acupuncture with conventional biomedicine. "

Medical acupuncture, then, is a modern hybrid of medical science and traditional acupuncture.
