WISCA

The Wisconsin Society of Certified Acupuncturists (WISCA) is a non-profit organization of state-certified, state resident acupuncturists who are nationally board0certified. Our mission is to promote understanding and awareness of acupuncture and allied fields of oriental medicine through public education and outreach. We seek to provide information to Wisconsin residents on the validity, safety, legitimacy, and standards of practice and training. Due to the variety of styles of acupuncture and complimentary medicine, we seek to ensure that all practitioners meet uniformly high standards of training and skill. With accurate and balanced information, our state citizens can distinguish between valid and exaggerated claims and decide how, when, and where to choose this style of complimentary health care.

Interest in complimentary medicine is growing. We seek to ensure the safety and well being of Wisconsin citizens who choose to avail themselves of these complimentary health care modalities. Our aim is for a all practitioners who offer acupuncture to uniformly meet the same high standards of education and training as required by the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing of all certified acupuncturists. We seek to ensure that all practitioners, regardless of their licensing, are practicing within the scope of their training. We strive for clearer legal specifications of high training and skill in acupuncture, associated healing arts in oriental medicine, and associated complimentary medical practices such as herbs, moxabustion, homeopathy, etc.

We offer a vast network of information from a wide variety of experienced, dedicated practitioners who can provide this information to the public, the media, and legislators.
