Acupuncture has a long and rich history as components of a comprehensive traditional medical system that has been used for thousands of years to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being. Millions of Americans and many Pennsylvanians seek acupuncture services to help with pains, relief stress, and aide with other conditions.
 
Practitioners of acupuncture are dedicated to the highest standards of professionalism and maintain these standards through education, credentialing, and personal commitment. The trained practitioners can be a valuable resource to many Pennsylvanians and the communities they serve.
 
It is vital that those in need of medical services understand the full realm of available modalities and seek competent and professional care.
 
Please join me in a resolution to designate October 24th as “Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Day” and urge all citizens to learn more about the potential benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine.
