As the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists announces that it will not be providing insurance cover for members practising acupuncture for fertility-related treatments after 1 July, independent insurance cover will still be available through the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).
Caspar Van Dongen, AACP chief executive, told the CSP’s magazine, Frontline, that there is a wealth of evidence to support the safe use of acupuncture for fertility problems.
He went on to say: ‘Such is the evidence and success of acupuncture to treat fertility issues that the AACP run regular courses on the subject which are very well attended and increasingly popular.’
