Acupuncture and Wellness
Acupuncture is a procedure involving stimulation of points on the body by penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles in order to encourage wellness of the mind, body and soul. American practices of acupuncture incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, as well as other countries that have used this technique for over 2,500 years.
There are more than 500 clinical trials1 showing the benefits of acupuncture in conditions such as; headache, back pain, neck pain, knee pain, osteoarthritis, post-surgical pain and recovery, nausea, asthma, allergies, migraines, hypertension, weight loss, depression, anxiety, repetitive stress disorders, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), reproductive issues, male and female infertility, side effects of cancer treatments, digestive issues, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), reduction of the side effects of medication in general, morning sickness, general health, wellness, and stress reduction.

Profit Potential
The Center for Disease Control’s Advance Data report on the 2002 National Health Interview Survey of 31,044 adults shows that between 4%-10% of Americans have tried acupuncture, (2.1 million in 2002). That amounts to 5 million visits per year and a large portion of the $27 billion per year spent on complementary alternative medicine or wellness services. The increase in visits to acupuncturists in 2007 was three times what it was in 1997, according to a study by the National Institute of Health on Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM).
Today there are over 65 schools and colleges with accredited or candidacy status with the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). Schools and colleges for which ACAOM provides institutional accreditation are eligible to use ACAOM accreditation status to establish eligibility for their students to receive Title IV federal financial aid such as Stafford Loans. Today there are 8075 students attending accredited schools.
