The Department of Medicine

East-West Medicine

At the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine, medical doctors and acupuncturists, trained in the principles and techniques of both western biomedicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), work in unison to treat patients. The team incorporates therapies such as TCM therapeutic acupuncture or therapeutic massage with western techniques such as trigger point injections and prescription drugs. Some conditions treated at the center include: fibromyalgia, cancer pain, degenerative arthritis, sports injuries, overuse injuries, intolerance to medications or surgery, and chronic pain in the neck, back, shoulder, hip, and knee. Patients may be referred by their physician or may self-refer.

Emphasis is placed upon the continuum of health promotion, disease prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
