Should my doctor know?

 

If you are receiving treatment from your doctor it is advisable to tell him or her about your plans to have acupuncture.

Acupuncture treatment may enable you to reduce or even stop taking some forms of medication, but your doctor should be consulted about any such changes.

You should inform your acupuncturist about any medication you are taking as this may affect your response to the acupuncture treatment.
