While there is no definitive information on the number of acupuncture associations, societies and related organizations in the United States, nearly every state that has an acupuncture law on the books also has its own association. (Some states, such as California, have several.) In addition, there are approximately a dozen national organizations, each representing the interests of the acupuncture and Oriental medicine profession.
