THIS IS WHAT WE DO KNOW
According to the 2015 World Health Organization ( WHO ), acupuncture is the fastest growing health care segment in the world .
There are approximately 32,000 to 35,000 licensed acupuncturists in the United States . Industry experts project that there are thousands of acupuncturists that have allowed their license to expire due to the difficulty of finding gainful employment . We believe the national development and job opportunities created by Modern Acupuncture will motivate many of them to return to their trained profession .
Thousands of acupuncturists graduate from college annually seeking employment .
There are over 50 acupuncture colleges in United States which is greater than the amount of acupuncture colleges in China .
The median annual salary of an acupuncturist ( 1-4 year ’ s experience ) is $ 45,000 according to Payscales Real Time Salary .
The Mayo Clinic has adopted the practice of acupuncture nationwide .
The US Military is regularly using acupuncture to treat PTSD and chronic pain .
Due to the profession being un-organized and fragmented , acupuncture has failed to penetrate major markets such as chronic pain , depression , cosmetic , and wellness . The proven results of acupuncture care in these markets yield a huge opportunity .
