FAQs

I’ve done other micro-system acupuncture before but not done a course on body needling, am I qualified?I’m afraid that the answer is no, you must have a full diploma qualification in body acupuncture and understand body acupuncture needling and diagnosis. This course does not teach diagnosis, it teaches safe needling of the points you already know.

Can I get insured for this course?Yes, if you are an acupuncture therapist or medically qualified already, Balens insurance accept our Certificates and Diplomas. We work in close partnership with them, making sure that they accept all our qualifications.

What are the benefits of back acupuncture and needling hazardous points?Many of the key points to treating deep systematic disease and conditions require the use of points that have cautions against them or lay on the back ‘Shu’ acupuncture system. Many acupuncturists stay away from these points as standard because of their fear of causing harm, but this can impact their treatment results and not allow them to fully resolve the issues. This limits the acupuncturist to a much smaller range of treatments that they can offer.

Who is it for?This course is aimed at acupuncturists, current body acupuncture students and the medically qualified. It is for practitioners who wish to learn a valuable technique to increase their value and ability to treat a wide range of conditions with acupuncture.
