New Mexico Society for Acupuncture and Asian Medicine

A professional association, NMSAAM is an inclusive community of acupuncturists. Individual practices range from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Japanese Meridian Therapy to modern scalp acupuncture and injection therapy. New Mexico acupuncturists are required to have competence in herbal medicine. NMSAAM is supported by our members, who are passionate about this ancient and modern medicine, and the help it brings our patients. NMSAAM has built positive connections with other professional associations, lawmakers, and individual healthcare providers in this state and nationally. We provide opportunities for acupuncturists to connect. NMSAAM is a member of the American Society of Acupuncturists (ASA). NMSAAM is a non-profit organization, with competitive membership dues. The Board and committee members are volunteers. The same is true of the ASA. Thus, we are not like most other non-profit organizations, where the executive board and staff are paid individuals who often manage volunteers.
