Welcome to the Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine’s website. Thank you for visiting. We hope you find it useful and informative.
History of the Association
The Texas Acupuncture Association (TAA) was founded in 1992 before the practice of acupuncture was legal in the State of Texas. It was through their efforts that acupuncture became legal and professionally licensed in Texas. In 2001 TAA changed its name to the Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (TAAOM) in order to better represent all facets of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Today it is the largest professional organization of licensed acupuncturists and practitioners of Oriental medicine in Texas.
Mission
The mission of TAAOM is to understand and address the needs of Texas Oriental Medicine professionals and the communities they serve, by promoting high quality standards, providing a unified voice, and supporting the profession.
