Can Acupuncture be considered Occupational Therapy? |
I've wanted to get acupuncture for quite some time now. Without insurance it鈥檚 a little on the expensive side. The short answer is No...occupational therapy is a specialty of it's own and licensed by each individual state. It is geared toward functional activities of daily living (ADL's) such as bathing, dressing, eating and designed to reteach these skills. No an occupational therapist looks at the way the human body moves and suggests ways to improve performance and prevent injury. ie.: using a wrist rest when you are using a keyboard. SOME CHIROPRACTORS ALSO DO ACCUPUNTURE. DO A SEARCH FOR THIS AND FIND OUT. In some states, PTs can perform accupuncture if special training has been taken. Most likely, though, you could find a chiropractor who would do it. |
