I have over 37 years of practical experience and specializes in gentle and painless Japanese Acupuncture for all conditions, gender and age. Have you ever felt your symptoms come from somewhere else than physical and rather more psycho-emotional? Our emotions effect our physical condition greatly and vise versa. My approach is to see a person as a whole integration of mind-spirit-body. In Vedic medicine, it says “The primordial cause of disease (dis-ease) is forgetting that you are a spirit.” Celestial Acupuncture is for those who are striving on your spiritual path but little bit struggling with manifesting a true desire.

I believe that we have the greatest doctor in ourselves. It is a great gift from God but we forget it. Every kinds of medicine including acupuncture are just a helper to assist the inner doctor. I think that I am responsible for awakening the inner doctor using the oriental medicine to maximize the improvement. For the result, I would like not only to give patients treatment but also to take a load off their mind as a lifetime companion. I like to helping people and making the world a better place.

I believe we have a fundamental right to enjoy good health: to sleep well, to awaken refreshed- to move through our days with abundant energy & clarity of thought- to feel connected to our friends, family, co-workers and our environment. Yet the stressful demands of urban living have made it increasingly difficult to lead healthful, happy lives. Chinese Medicine offers an opportunity to rebalance and to revitalize- to make positive changes in our well-being: to recover from illness or injury; to feel...better!

The main objectives of acupuncture treatment are relieving pain and other symptoms, strengthening the immune system, and balancing, harmonizing and integrating the functions of the internal organs with each other, making for a unified, healthy person, rather than a collection of fragmented, disharmonious parts. Oriental Medicine addresses and seeks to find the root or the cause of the problem rather than just merely treating the manifestations of various symptoms. Acupuncture increases the blood circulation to the area where the fine tiny needles are inserted. With increased circulation of blood the muscles relax, and they become tightened.

Acupuncture in Torrance - 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. Torrance 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.

Credentials for Torrance licensed acupuncturists?
A licensed acupuncturist in Torrance needs a minimum of two years college education and must complete three years of professional training and pass the State's approved licensing examination. The three year program includes both theory and hands-on clinical practice. Most States' professional training programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
