Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the simulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body involving various methods such as penetration by thin needles or application of heat, pressure, or laser light. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion.

Duties and Responsibilities: Unlike conventional western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition.

Salary: a few years ago, the average wages were rather low with Payscale.com revealing that the average salary was around $46,000 a year. However, recent survey carried out by job agency indeed revealed that the average salary had rised to $76,000 in February, 2014.

Education: most acupuncturist hold master’s degrees.

Reflection: I wouldn’t like to be an acupuncturist I would like to have a treatment for my headaches.
