The American Board of Animal Acupuncture, ABAA, is the only certification agency for licensed acupuncturists practicing animal acupuncture in the United States. The mission of the ABAA is to establish, assess, and promote recognized standards of competency and safety in the use of acupuncture and Oriental medicine by licensed acupuncturists for the treatment and benefit of animals.
Board certification from the ABAA authenticates an acupuncturist’s knowledge and skills to practice the specialty of animal acupuncture. The ABAA recognizes the need for certification to assure that practitioners who are treating animals with acupuncture and Oriental medicine are doing so with advanced knowledge and experience.
The ABAA Board is composed of specialists in the field of animal acupuncture, Oriental medicine, veterinary medicine, animal handling, and education. The ABAA also recognizes that animal acupuncture is, and has been for thousands of years, the domain of practitioners of acupuncture and Oriental medicine, long before western veterinary medicine was ever developed.
The ABAA is a non-profit 501(c) 6 corporation. The ABAA respects the training and lineage of all practitioners who work with treating animals. The ABAA course at the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture (PIHMA) is authorized by the state of Maryland for acupuncturists to practice animal acupuncture.
