Joseph Alban, L.Ac

Traditional Chinese Medicine

"I chose to practice acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine because it can safely and effectively treat many diseases, chronic illness, and pain. This is because the Chinese medicine system has combined a caring relationship with clinical insight based upon thousands of years of tradition. To follow in this tradition, I travelled to China and completed a hospital residency at the First Traditional Chinese Medicine Teaching Hospital of the Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There, in the acupuncture, Chinese Herbal medicine and tui na (medical massage) departments, I trained with leading physicians in the field. This training remains the backbone of my practice which focuses on chronic pain, internal medicine, as well as and men's and women's health."
