Acupuncture - Asian Medicine - Traditional Chinese Medicine

Doctors of Eastern/Asian Medicine practice medicine through a range of practices that usually originated in China where they are mainstream. In the USA, they are considered alternative medicine & are not usually covered by insurance. The practice includes such treatments as herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, massage and Qi Gong. Many USA MDs practicing Integrative Medicine are also acupuncturists. The BLS refers us to Chiropractic Medicine to get a sense of the occupational profile for doctors of Eastern Medicine.
