It depends on what province you are in as not all provinces recognize Acupuncturists as Authorized medical practitioners. This CRA page shows which ones do: Authorized medical practitioners for the purposes of the medical expense tax credit

Hello - thank you for the link. An acupuncturist is recognized in Ontario.
