scope of practice

[Guest guest]

An exciting change has occurred in CA acu law as of today. Our use

of herbs was technically limited to promoting health, not treating illness,

under the old scope. We are now allowed to describe our use of herbs

to restore health. This gives us a distinction from health food stores.

see the old and new below for details.

 

A. Old Law, under Section 4937 of the Business and Professional

Code allows an acupuncturist to perform or prescribe the use of

oriental massage, acupressure, breathing techniques, exercise, or

nutrition, including the incorporation of drugless substances and

herbs as dietary supplements to promote health.

B. New Law, SB-341 allows the acupuncturist to " perform or

prescribe the use of oriental massage, acupressure, breathing

techniques, exercise, heat, cold, magnets, nutrition, diet, herbs,

plant, animal, and mineral products, and dietary supplements to

promote, maintain, and restore health. It also makes

it clear that

dietary advice and primary care treatment are within our scope of

practice.
