Minnesota Laws & Details
Practitioner Title
Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.)
Requirements
Applicants must have current, active NCCAOM certification in acupuncture.
Reciprocity/Endorsement: The statute provides
for reciprocity for individuals who hold a current license or
certificate as an acupuncturist from another jurisdiction if the board
determines that the standards for certification or licensure in the
other jurisdiction meet or exceed the requirements for licensure in
Minnesota, and a letter is received from that jurisdiction that the
acupuncturist is in good standing in that jurisdiction.
Practice by Others
Medical doctors and osteopaths may practice acupuncture in Minnesota without any specific training.
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 postive
experience and results, find an acupuncturist with experience treating a similar condition (with acupuncture) to what you have.
