Acupuncture is an excellent treatment option for patients with pain and inflammation, or for motor deficiencies/neurological problems and complicated pain syndromes such as trigeminal neuralgia.
Acupuncture training and certification starts with the Foundations of Anatomical Acupuncture (AA1) course from Acupuncture Canada. Our program offers a paced, supported online training component combined with in-person, hands-on skills training to ensure you become a safe and effective practitioner. Acupuncture training can help you improve treatment outcomes and grow your practice.
The Foundations (AA1) course introduces you to the history of acupuncture and the current research underlying the physiological mechanisms of acupuncture and how it works from the anatomical perspective. You will explore the meridian system and how this integrates with the anatomical approach. At the end of this course, you will be able to locate and provide the rationale for 35+ acupuncture points for treatment of a variety of conditions including whiplash, frozen shoulder, back, hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain.
The Foundations course starts with a 4-week online study component, including videos, narrated PPTs, quizzes and case management plans. Online study is followed by a 3-day intensive in-person component where students work in small groups with experienced instructors, to learn safe, effective needling techniques.
The separate online and onsite components mean flexibility in study. Choose your separate online and onsite start dates when you register, to fit your busy schedule.
The Foundations (AA1) course is being offered in Vancouver this spring:
- May 31-June 2, 2024 (with online start options of Feb 12, Mar 11, Apr 15, or Apr 29)
