Acupuncture and massage is a three-year Chinese medicine major. Acupuncture and massage are methods of health preservation and treatment. Courses offered include basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, meridians and acupoints, etc. The advantage of acupuncture and massage specialty is that you can take the doctor's certificate and assistant doctor's exam at the starting point of the college, which has great advantages for our future work.
Personally, I think acupuncture and massage is a good major. "As long as I have a needle, I can cure diseases." Acupuncture and massage is basically learning acupuncture and massage. Don't talk about moxibustion, massage, just having hands; Acupuncture, as long as there is a needle, the medical equipment used is very simple, but the effect is remarkable.
In addition, acupuncture and massage overthrew the view that traditional Chinese medicine only treats chronic diseases. Just like the martial arts movies we watch, you can tie people up by clicking on acupuncture points; When fighting, pressing the head can make people bleed to death ... Of course, the reality is not so magical, but the difference is not very big, which is actually because of the acupuncture points. Like today's fainting, we just click on someone; Abdominal pain can be relieved immediately by acupuncture. Therefore, acupuncture and massage have a good effect on emergency.
However, acupuncture and massage also has some defects in treatment, because it is a purely external treatment, so it has the shortcomings of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Development and Employment Prospects The fact that the sub-health population is gradually expanding now, the demand for acupuncture professionals is also increasing year by year. This is also my feeling in recent years.
Throughout the population of dominant diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage undoubtedly account for a relatively large proportion. Whether it is bone and muscle injury, pain syndrome or rehabilitation exercise, it is effective and has advantages over other traditional Chinese and western medicine treatments.
There are great differences in technical level, especially in acupuncture and massage techniques. Many people focus on acupuncture and bonesetting, but few people do massage comfortably. Most massage experts are still in the private sector, but the overall theoretical level is low. Therefore, the upper limit is not high and it is easier to break through.
The pace of developing Chinese medicine in China is accelerating. It is an indisputable fact that a large number of acupuncture and massage technicians are needed in public or private hospitals, outpatient clinics, Chinese medicine clinics, medical and health institutions and marginal industries of Chinese medicine.
Not only in China, but also in the international mainstream medical field. In the United States, Britain, Australia, Japan and other developed countries, acupuncture technology has been recognized, developed and innovated. Therefore, we can also choose to work abroad.
