I am dual-trained in both traditional Chinese medicine and conventional medicine. I have been practicing in the fields of Integrated Medicine and Oriental Medicine for more than 20 years. More than 15 articles of my clinical investigations and medical laboratory research have been published. Beyond clinical review, a healthcare organization links me to multiple insurance companies in which very few acupuncturists can be involved with current insurance policies.

Acupuncture in Oil City - 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. Oil City 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.
