Find a qualified acupuncturist
Choose an acupuncturist who belongs to a professional association. ETCMA’s member associations across Europe hold their members to high standards of training, ethics and practice.
Why choose a member of a professional association?
Members of ETCMA’s national associations have completed recognised training in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, follow a professional code of ethics and conduct, and keep their knowledge up to date. Requirements and legal recognition differ from country to country, so each association sets out its own standards.
What to ask
- Are you a member of a professional acupuncture association?
- What training and qualifications do you have?
- Do you have professional insurance?
- Can we talk first about whether acupuncture is right for me?
Acupuncture can sit alongside your usual healthcare. Keep your doctor informed about any treatment you’re having.
Find a member in your country
Each name links to the association’s own website, or to its ETCMA member page where we don’t have a working website. Where an association has a directory of its members, use Find an acupuncturist to search it.
