Introducing the Acupuncture Today Digital Edition

Editorial Staff

In response to the changing habits of our readers, Acupuncture Today will introduce a digital edition of the publication (in addition to our print edition) beginning with the August 2016 issue. There is no app to download or registration required, just sign up for our News Alert and a link to the new Digital Edition will appear in your inbox each month.

You will still receive all the great content from the print version of the publication, just sooner and in a more convenient form. What's more, by subscribing digitally, you can reduce the impact on our environment.

A growing percentage of acupuncturists are reading articles online through their laptops/desktops, smart phones and tablets. The new Digital Edition gives busy acupuncturists another option to keep current on all the latest news, techniques, research and features available in Acupuncture Today.
