Alabama Laws & Details
Practitioner Title
Acupuncturists are not licensed in Alabama.
Requirements
An acupuncturist may not practice under M.D., D.O., or chiropractor supervision.
Practice by Others
Only a medical doctor, osteopath, or chiropractor may practice
acupuncture in Alabama. There is no specific training required
for a medical or osteopathic doctor to practice acupuncture. The Medical Licensure Commission of Alabama Rule 545-X-4-05 mandates that licensed physicians who practice acupuncture must comply with FDA requirements.
There is no provision for the practice of acupuncture by chemical dependency specialists.
Chiropractors must be certified with 100 hours of training.
NOTE: Look for a physician with formal training in the practice of
acupuncture. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is an art and a science
that takes years to master. While any licensed physician can stick
needles into you, for a positive experience and results, find an
acupuncturist with experience treating a similar condition (with
acupuncture) to what you have.
