Chiropractic Certification

Wellspring Seminars provides seminars designed specifically for chiropractors. Our 200-Hour Acupuncture Certification Program is a seven month medical acupuncture seminar series, which doctors of chiropractic will find thoroughly prepares them to begin practicing acupuncture in states requiring 200 hours or less. If your state requires less than 200 hours, we will structure the course to suit your needs. In designing this program we have included significant hands-on practice (with all supplies included), as well as didactic instruction to accelerate learning and improve clinical results.

Filled with advanced acupuncture training, our seminars consist of personal attention and hands-on practice. For the dates and locations of currently scheduled 200 Hour Acupuncture Certification Programs, see a list of our current seminars.
