If you want to use certain types of mind and body approaches—such as acupuncture or massage therapy—you’ll need to choose a practitioner.

Your health care provider may be able to help you in your search. A local hospital or medical school, professional organizations, state regulatory agencies or licensing boards, or even your health insurance provider may also be helpful.
