The
Licensed Edge of Naprapathy
Naprapaths
offer a clear advantage over many other alternative pain
relief therapies. It's the fact that their licenses guarantee
patients that they meet the rigid qualifications and standards
for professional practice in their field.
Why
is Licensing Important?
Certification
demonstrates that a practitioner has successfully completed
an approved educational program and passed an examination
designed to assess the knowledge, experience and skills
necessary for high quality patient care in that specialty.
What's
more, to maintain certification, professionals are required
to participate in continuing education, have their credentials
reviewed and undergo further examination.
Licensing:
An Important Distinction
In
the cluttered market of alternative pain relief therapies,
licensing is an important distinction. Gaining certification
is not only a rigorous process for practitioners, but attaining
it has been a long fought battle for the disciplines themselves.
For years, Naprapaths, along with Acupuncturists and Chiropractors
have struggled, state by state, against an often resistant
medical establishment for legislative recognition. It is
certainly not something to be taken for granted.
Though
Chiropractors are licensed in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia, and 35 states license Acupuncturists, so far,
Naprapaths are only licensed by Illinois. Consider yourself
lucky if you live in the Land of Lincoln.
