Welcome to Institute of Alternative Medicine

   Welcome to Institute of Alternative Medicine, one of the best acupuncture and herbal medicine medical center in Tarzana, CA, was established in 1998.  Since then, we have served people in San Fernando Valley with our dedication and excellent medical care supported by our profound western and eastern medicine knowledge, extensive experience, and the best training available in our field.  Our practice adheres to the highest standards and enables our clinic to be one of the best in Southern California.

   Acupuncture and herbal medicine, the two pillars of Chinese medicine, work to support people in optimal health and to achieve total wellness both physically and psychologically.  

   The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems, including:

  • Digestive Disorders: gastritis, hyperacidity, colitis, constipation, diarrhea.
  • Respiratory Disorders: sinusitis, sore throat, bronchitis, asthma, chest infections.
  • Neurological and Muscular Disorders: headaches, facial tics, neck pain, rib neuritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, various forms of tendinitis, lower back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, and nausea.
  • Urinary Problems.
  • Menstrual and Reproductive Problems.
    •

        In addition to the above listed medical disorders, acupuncture has been found to be either beneficial or having curing effect as well.  For instance, National Cancer Institute has found acupuncture is of great benefits supporting cancer patients too.  Others, like depression, insomnia, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, obesity, acupuncture and herbal medicine can be beneficial as well. 

    Without our health, our achievements may mean less and less as our wellness worsens.  We strongly suggest you to come and see us to achieve a balanced well-being all the time.
