How the ASA Promotes Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
As an acupuncturist at American Acupuncture Therapeutics, PC, Arkady Kiner utilizes traditional Oriental medicine techniques to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness. Arkady Kiner, with an MA in Oriental medicine, is a member of the American Society of Acupuncturists (ASA).
The ASA, comprised of nearly 4,000 members in 27 state member associations, seeks to promote acupuncture and East Asian medicine throughout the world by acting as an informational resource for policymakers, members of the Western medical community, and the general public. The society also works with international legislators to ensure the best expression of this mode of medicine.
The ASA provides its members with an array of professional networking opportunities, governance training, operational tools, and practice development resources to promote the field of Oriental medicine and its health benefits. One of these resources is the society’s official journal, Meridians. Free to all members, the journal contains peer-reviewed scientific articles focused on the professional practice of Oriental medicine and acupuncture.
