Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 As this is an herbal listserve and not an acu listserve, I will make my question quick and easy. Is it legal for a L.Ac. to do pelvic floor and levator ani needling? Does anyone know who does this kind of work? Is there special training or licensing for internal needling?

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 This is the way I was taught and have done so with great results, in fact, once patients get past the obvious discomfort of the thought of such a technique they have frequently reported looking forward to it because it so obviously helped them....
