Georgia Laws & Details
Practitioner Title
Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.)
Requirements
An applicant must be NCCAOM
certified in acupuncture, complete a national recognized clean needle
technique course approved by the board, and be at least 21 years of
age. A grandparenting provision is included for individuals who
practiced in the state prior to the passage of the law.
Practice by Others
Medical doctors and osteopaths must complete a 300 hour board approved course in order to practice acupuncture in Georgia.
Acupuncture is not within the scope of practice of chiropractors.

formal training in the practice of acupuncture. Acupuncture and

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.
