Acupuncture

The most well known modality of Oriental Medicine is Acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on the theory that energy, or qi (pronounced chee), circulates throughout the body in channels called meridians, much like blood circulates throughout the body in arteries and veins. A healthy body is dependent on the free flow of this energy. When there is a blockage of this energy, pain or disease results. ... Read More

The most well known modality of Oriental Medicine is Acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on the theory that energy, or qi (pronounced chee), circulates throughout the body in channels called meridians, much like blood circulates throughout the body in arteries and veins. A healthy body is dependent on the free flow of this energy. When there is a blockage of this energy, pain or disease results. In an acupuncture treatment, a practitioner inserts tiny, sterile and disposable needles into specific points on the body to release these blockages of energy. By clearing these blockages, the body can restore its naturally fluid circulation of energy. World Health Organization: Acupuncture/National Institute of Health: Acupuncture
During an acupuncture session, our practitioners may include other treatments such as cupping therapy, gua sha, acupressure, or electro-stimulation to increase the efficacy of the treatment.

Tara Greenberg LAc My mission is to guide you on a holistic path to well-being by providing accessible, affordable, and integrative healthcare. Using ancient tools and wisdom passed down from generations of healers, this medicine is more than just acupuncture, but herbal formulations and methods of manipulation - such as gua sha and cupping, nutritional counseling and lifestyle modifications. Chinese Medicine, and my approach, boosts the body’s intuitive ability to heal itself, empowering you to be the healer on your own quest.

In 2010 I decided to move across the country from NY to CA to begin my studies at Emperor’s College in Santa Monica. I chose this school (the #2 nationally ranked acupuncture school) and California because the state had the most stringent requirements and it is rumored that the California Acupuncture Licensing Exam (CALE) is the hardest in the nation. If I was going to start a new career, I wanted to do it in the most challenging and best place possible, that way I would be fully prepared and confident in my skills.

It was during this time that I had the opportunity to practice as an acupuncture intern at the Venice Family Clinic in Venice; Being Alive HIV clinic in West Hollywood; and the Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center at Providence Hospital in Burbank. I graduated from the program summa cum laude. After graduation I pioneered a successful acupuncture program at Rancho Santana in Nicaragua. I hold individual licenses, in both the state of California and nationally, as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine.

I also fully specialize in women’s health, fertility support, and pain management and believe in the power and history of Eastern Medicine and I feel that there is a place in today’s society for both Western and Eastern medicine - especially in concert with one another. They both have their strengths and can certainly complement one another. I look forward to guiding you on this journey.
