Dr. Nicholas J. Gatto Dr. Gary D. Ditson & Dr. Mary M. Jennings on the Campus of Logan University College of Chiropractic

100-Hour Basic Acupuncture Certification Program Introduction

Acupuncture is a well known and respected healing art practiced around the world.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, “Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner’s hands or with electrical stimulation. Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine.” Acupuncture is not a subset of chiropractic, and it is not a specialized technique. It is a separate and distinct healing system that fits very well with chiropractic care. This course prepares the Doctor of Chiropractic to learn and practice acupuncture in conjunction with chiropractic practice. All of the instructors in this brand-new certification course are Doctors of Chiropractic who hold Diplomate status in acupuncture. Each of them has vast experience in the use of acupuncture in their private practices and are experts in teaching this healing art. Acupuncture can take your practice to new levels. If this appeals to you, then this is the course you have been looking for!
