Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

About TAAOM

The Texas Acupuncture Association (TAA) was founded in 1989 before the practice of acupuncture was legal in the State of Texas. It was through the efforts of the association that acupuncture became legal and professionally licensed in Texas in 1993. In 2000, TAA reorganized as the Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (TAAOM) in order to better represent all facets of the profession. Today it is the largest professional organization of licensed acupuncturists and practitioners of Oriental medicine in Texas.

  • providing a unified voice to the profession
