Safety
Acupuncture is typically a safe procedure to undergo if performed by a licensed and credentialed professional. If you get the procedure, ensure your acupuncturist has a current acupuncture license and undergoes appropriate training.
To practice acupuncture in the US, an acupuncturist must have a minimum of a master’s degree from a program that’s accredited by the American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and a license in the state where you get your acupuncture treatment.
The American Academy of Medical Acupuncture can also license Doctors with an MD degree licensed in our country to practice medicine after some additional training.
