Una Cho Licensed Acupuncturist
Chinese medicine is a passion for me. Due to my Asian background, I was able to grasp the concept of Chinese medicine quickly and accurately. Based on that knowledge, I have seen numerous patients and helped them in the clinic. People who did not believe in acupuncture or were afraid of needles came to me and had good results and appreciated my gentle acupuncture technique. Due to the results, they believed in acupuncture and recommended me to their friends, family and coworkers
In my culture, if we get sick, we look to Eastern medicine because it is such a positive way to deal with health problems compared to Western medicine's drugs and surgeries.
I have been trained in the Dr. Shen / Hammer Pulse systems and contemporary diagnostics. In this training I can make a more accurate diagnosis and approach to better treatment for my patients. Also my other specialty is ear (auricular) diagnosis. Auricular medicine can examine the physical conditions of a person in a very simple, inexpensive and accurate way. By examing different ear points, I can obtain information about a person's health condition. In addition, it can also provide a history of the disease and possible future diseases, such as diabetes.I have also been trained by the acupuncturists, Kiiko Matsumoto(Japanese acupuncture), Kwangho Kim(Korean acupuncture), Master Tung, Lichun Huang, Dr.Zhu Mingqing(Chinese acupuncture). I use many different treatment techniques besides acupuncture, such as cupping, moxa, guasha, tuina, and others. Chinese medicinal herbs are prescribed as part of the treatment for most ailments.
