What is a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac.)?
The profession of Acupuncture has evolved to become an integral primary healthcare modality in many Canadian provinces. In BC, the profession is regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC)—which unifies traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists under a single regulatory body. This central governing body works with the Provincial Government to provide regulatory mechanisms that ensure public safety and a standardized educational format, ensuring registrants meet a high level of competency.
While acupuncture is exceptional for regulating the nervous system and managing stress-related conditions, a major percentage of clinical treatments are dedicated to sports injury rehabilitation, pain management, and functional movement optimization.
The ultimate goal of Acupuncture is to restore physiological balance, improve tissue healing, and enhance physical performance through the strategic placement of fine sterile needles, electro-acupuncture, and related modalities. There are numerous evidence-informed techniques employed with the ultimate goal of reducing pain, speeding up recovery times, and improving athletic performance.
