“If you thoroughly investigate the pathomechanism there will be no illness for which you will fail to give the appropriate treatment.”

– Huangdi Neijing Suwen

Advocacy

North Carolina acknowledges and respects all traditions of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. We believe that cooperation and strength among practitioners and supporters will ensure that this ancient and  modern medical profession will retain its integrity. Anyone can advocate for safe and effective acupuncture. As licensed acupuncturists, we advocate our practices. As leaders in the field, we step up, learn, and contribute to the local, state, and national efforts to maintain standards while improving the profession.

Legislation

By protecting the legal status to practice acupuncture in North Carolina, NCSAAM aims to enhance the quality of health care for people in North Carolina. The NCSAAM membership fees support our dynamic lobbyist team that has already thwarted an attempt for secondary oversight and limitation on practice. Understanding the legislative process and taking action is one way the NCSAAM serves North Carolina acupuncturists and strengthens the practice of acupuncture as a medicine.
