Neoclassical acupuncture to the rescue

Of all the types of acupuncture I have found, neoclassical acupuncture is the most effective and quick for my patients.

I have been studying acupuncture since the 1990’s. Much of my training was in the physician acupuncture program at UCLA. I am mentioned in the textbook for this program by Joseph Helms, MD. I also helped teach the physician class I was in.

Over the years I studied with many other excellent teachers.

In 2025 I discovered Neoclassical acupuncture. This is the most effective, deep, life changing acupuncture approach I have ever experienced.

It uses a very powerful algorithm based on an extensive physical exam of the meridians to choose a single point that will balance the entire system. The results have been life changing for my patients.

Slate Burris, the creator and teacher of this approach, offers four levels of training culminating in the Expert level. I am trained in all levels.

At this point, having seen thousands of patients since I first opened my doors in 1991, I have no hesitation to say that I know of no approach that is more powerful than Neoclassical acupuncture.

Patients are delighted that a single needle can eliminate pain and functional issues in such a short time.
