Advocacy for Practitioners
The Illinois Society of Acupuncturists acknowledges and respects all traditions of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. We believe that cooperation and strength among practitioners and supporters will ensure that this ancient and modern medical profession will retain its integrity. Anyone can advocate for safe and effective acupuncture. As licensed acupuncturists, we advocate our practices. As leaders in the field, we step up, learn, and contribute to the local, state, and national efforts to maintain standards while improving the profession.
Legislation Lobbying & Protection
By protecting the legal status to practice acupuncture in Illinois, the Illinois Society of Acupuncturists aims to enhance the quality of health care for people in our state. Your membership fees help support our dynamic lobbyist team that has already thwarted an attempt for secondary oversight and limitation on practice. Understanding the legislative process and taking action is one way the Illinois Society of Acupuncturists serves acupuncturists in the state of Illinois and strengthens the practice of acupuncture as a medicine.
