Acupuncturists
Acupuncturists treat health disorders and their symptoms through the use of needles. They review patients' medical histories and physicians' diagnoses to determine the symptoms and disorders to be treated. Then, using their knowledge of body locations connected with certain symptoms and disorders, they mechanically, thermally, or electrically stimulate these areas with needles.
