  • What Is Medical Acupuncture?

    In the past 2,000 years, more people have been successfully treated with acupuncture than with all other health modalities combined. Today, acupuncture is practiced in Asia, the former Soviet Union, and in Europe. It is now being used more and more in America by patients and physicians.

    Acupuncture treatments can be given at the same time as other techniques are being used, such as conventional Western medicine.

    Dr. Keller is trained in palpatory acupuncture, which combines classical Chinese medical principles with modern pathophysiology in a way that facilitates the understanding and brings out the best in both.
