How AcupunctureProof Works
Our Principle
A referral tells you to "see an acupuncturist" but not where. We meet that with government data instead of star ratings: verify the license, check for discipline, see real experience and specialty focus — and read honest, evidence-based treatment guidance. We don't rank, and we don't sell leads.
Data Sources
NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System)
Published by CMS. Contains every provider with an NPI: name, credentials, taxonomy, practice address, enumeration date. Updated monthly.

State Acupuncture Boards
Each state board maintains license status and public disciplinary actions. We link every profile directly to the correct board so you always see the most current, authoritative record.
What We Verify
- NPI Active: The acupuncturist has a valid National Provider Identifier
- License Active: Verify current status with the state board (we link you there)
- No Disciplinary Actions: Check the board's public record
- Credentials Verified: LAc credential confirmed
- Established Practice: More than 3 years practicing
What We Don't Do
- We don't rank acupuncturists by "quality" — there's no objective free data for that
- We don't accept payment for better placement or verification badges
- We don't republish disciplinary records — we link to the authoritative board instead
- We don't provide medical advice
