NVA passes the 1000 members mark!
Posted on 02/10/2019 in Current Affairs
We are thrilled! The NVA has surpassed the magical threshold of 1000 members! We're not celebrating just yet, as on January 1, 2020, a group of members will undoubtedly retire, and poof, we'll drop back a bit. But if we still have over 1000 members then, the first thing we'll do in January is raise the flag! Or something like that. And you can bet you'll notice it!
Our Acupuncturists
Out of the 1000 NVA members, more than 900 are graduates and practicing acupuncturists, who have also often specialized in Chinese herbal therapy, tuina, and cupping alongside acupuncture. Traditional Chinese Medicine, of which acupuncture is an important and most well-known pillar, also includes dietary and lifestyle advice. You can read about these regularly in these blogs. And let's not forget about movement in the form of Tai Chi and Qigong.
The Youth, The Future
Among the remaining members, a significant group is working hard to become acupuncturists, our Student Members. They greatly need the support of a professional association to make the transition to practice, meeting all the requirements of professional healthcare.
Then there are NVA members who, for various reasons, are temporarily not practicing or remain members out of commitment to the profession.
Good Choice
Are you looking for a well-qualified NVA acupuncturist near you? Then enter your postal code in Search for an acupuncturist at the top of the page. In the address details, you will see a number of symbols on the right. Through a kind of clasp, you will be directed to the acupuncturist's website. There you can get an impression of the practice, the approach, the atmosphere. Of course, you can also give them a call and ask whatever you want to know.
