acupuncture certification

[brian fiket]

is there any type of licensing you have to have in order to perform acupuncture? just curious about any strange laws having to do with needles/sterilization. i understand chiropractors have to go through a lot and so do masseurs, as do many other doctoral fields as well, but what about acupuncture? is it even considered medicine? any insight is greatly appreciated.
also, do you ever perform acupuncture on people medicinally?

Actually, there are certifications for Acupuncture.  I found a
nice site about it  at
