Finding a qualified practitioner:

To find a qualified acupuncture practitioner in your area, check the yellow pages under "Acupuncture" and find the ad from the Acupuncture Society of Alberta. (Similar advertisements exist for other provinces).

Members of the Society have completed extensive training and have passed the Alberta acupuncture registration exam administered by the Alberta Health Disciplines Board.

Always ask where the practitioner trained, how long the training was (hours/years), how long she or he has been in practice and what experience they have had in treating your particular ailment.

 Ask around - have any of your friends or relatives found an outstanding practitioner?
