Acupuncture is a time-honored healing practice recognized worldwide and rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. As defined by Johns Hopkins Medicine, it involves the precise insertion of thin, solid needles into the skin, often stimulated by manual movement or electrical impulses.
It’s important to note that acupuncture is not a branch of chiropractic care but a distinct therapeutic system. However, it complements chiropractic principles, and this course is designed to help Doctors of Chiropractic integrate acupuncture into their practice effectively.
Leading the course is Dr. Hanson, a Doctor of Chiropractic and Licensed Acupuncturist, whose real-world experience and teaching expertise ensure a practical, in-depth learning experience.
If you’re looking to expand your holistic treatment offerings and elevate patient care, this certification course is the ideal next step.
Dr. Hanson brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this certification course, combining a background in chiropractic care with licensure in acupuncture. His dual qualifications as a Doctor of Chiropractic and Licensed Acupuncturist reflect a comprehensive approach to healthcare, blending both Western and Eastern therapeutic modalities.
In his private practice, Dr. Hanson has used acupuncture alongside chiropractic treatment, giving him a practical, hands-on understanding of how these disciplines complement each other. This kind of real-world experience adds depth to the instruction he provides.
Dr. Hanson’s strength as an instructor comes not just from his clinical background, but from his ability to teach. His experience in both practice and education allows him to break down complex acupuncture concepts and make them accessible, practical, and relevant to students at any level.

Chiropractors practicing acupuncture often have to adhere to state-specific regulations and licensing requirements. Each state in the United States has its own chiropractic board or regulatory agency responsible for overseeing the practice of chiropractic and related modalities like acupuncture. The regulations and requirements can vary significantly from one state to another.
If you’re looking for information about regulations for chiropractors practicing acupuncture in a specific state, I recommend visiting the official website of the relevant state chiropractic board or regulatory agency. They typically provide detailed information about licensing requirements, scope of practice, continuing education, and any other regulations that chiropractors practicing acupuncture must follow in that particular state.
Remember that the field of healthcare regulations is subject to change, and it’s important to verify information from official and reliable sources.
