Medical Acupuncture is a modality of treatment that has been adopted from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-Acupuncture, utilizing an updated medical science approach based on an Evidence Based Medicine. Medical Acupuncture has been evolved further from the TCM-Acupuncture. Medical Acupuncture practitioners are not solely cramp with the conventional concepts like Yin/Yang principles and Qi circulation. Yet Medical Acupuncture has been recognized as a sub-division of conventional medicine, rather than as a stand alone alternative medicine.
