Acupuncture

Duties and Responsibilities:Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain.

Salary: $75,000-$80,000

Education: A master's degree program begins the core educational training for an acupuncturist. Most master's-level acupuncture programs require 3-4 years of study. Eventual licensure in most states is partially dependent on the completion of an acupuncture training program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), so it's important that prospective students seek out an accredited program.

Refection: I don't think acupuncture would be right for me. It seems to be an interesting career to do in the future but for the man time i don't wanna be an acupuncturist. 

Acupressure

Duties and Responsibilities: Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing art that is similar to acupuncture, but does not use needles. Instead, body pressure points are manipulated by specially trained massage therapists. Acupressure professionals may earn certificates and degrees at colleges, massage schools and independent facilities to obtain hands-on massage instruction and courses on Asian medicine.

Salary:$81,830-$31,390

Education: You'll find acupressure classes and training programs available at massage therapy institutes and specialized Chinese medicine or acupressure schools. Each acupressure school will offer its own unique curriculum, but, in general, you can expect your acupressure training to cover these subjects:

·         Anatomy and physiology

·         Acupressure points and meridians

·         Theories of Chinese medicine

·         Acupressure techniques and protocols

·         Health, hygiene and contraindications

·         Neuromuscular techniques

·         Clinical practice

Reflection: I would not like to be a person who’s a acupressure because you’ll need to learn every part of the body so that you could put more pressure for the patient and it seems difficult to do acupressure to someone I personally think it’s a great job for someone who will like to do that but acupressure is not for me.
