A. As a general rule, acupuncture complements other treatments (including osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, herbal medicine and physiotherapy, etc). It is important to inform other practitioners, including your GP, if you are having acupuncture or taking chinese herbal medicines. Equally, it is important that you inform your acupuncturist of other treatments you are having, or medications you are taking, including herbs and homeopathic remedies.
