Who We Are

The Kentucky State Acupuncture Association (KSAA) is an alliance of acupuncture professionals certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure. It is an academic association comprised of Kentucky acupuncturists with primary interests in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. The KSAA was founded in 2005 before the practice of acupuncture was certified in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  It was through their efforts that acupuncture became certified by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and legally available to the public.
