Licensed versus Certified Acupuncturists
When looking for a qualified acupuncturist in the DFW area for serious concerns, chronic conditions, or long-term benefits, start your search for practitioners who are licensed acupuncturists (L.Ac.). They will have the highest level of training in the field. You will find a list of licensed acupuncturists at www.NCAAOM.org. Differences between the training of licensed acupuncturists and other practitioners performing acupuncture are in the chart below.
| Certified/Physician Acupuncturist | Licensed Acupuncturist |
| Certified physician or chiropractors with as little as 50 hours of training | Licensed acupuncturists (LAc) with an average of 2,700+ hours of master’s-level training |
| Training which is often comprised of home study and video-taped lectures | Master’s level, on-site training at a nationally accredited school or college of acupuncture |
| Minimal clinical experience in acupuncture or no actual patient treatments before certification | Hundreds of hours of clinical experience and at least 250 actual patient treatments before licensure |
| Not required to complete the national certification examination to prove competency in acupuncture | Required to pass the national certification exam in acupuncture in order to become licensed (NCCAOM) |
| Not required to regularly complete continuing education courses | Required to do regular continuing education to maintain national certification |
