I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who is also trained as a medical doctor. I specialized in Pediatrics as a Western physcian. In my Chinese medicine practice, I treat patients with all ages. Pain management,cancer support, pediatrics, women's health, allergies, asthma, migraines, emotional and mental well being are some, but not all of the areas I like to work at. I like to spend time with my patients to get to know them better, and to make sure that they feel listened and cared in the best possible way.

Acupuncture in 94518 - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. 94518 acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.

'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
