Get in touchWhat is acupuncturists insurance?
Acupuncturists insurance is a specialist policy that protects practitioners who use acupuncture needles to treat a range of conditions from pain management to stress relief. It typically includes professional indemnity, public liability and products liability.
Acupuncture involves inserting needles into the body, which carries inherent risks including infection, nerve damage and pneumothorax. If a client is harmed by your treatment, professional indemnity covers the claim.
