Improve Your Health and Well-Being with Acupuncture Treatments
Over the past two-thousand centuries, the Chinese have identified more than a thousand acupoints. The effectiveness of acupuncture depends on the acupuncturist having the skill, experience, knowledge, and means of diagnosis to target the precise points along the meridian pathways that require treatment. At his practice in Poway, CA, Dr. Bret Mosher has devoted nearly four decades to mastering the art and science of acupuncture. He has dedicated his professional life to honing his abilities. As a result, and with the support of advanced diagnostic tools, he is able to identify with remarkable accuracy the acupoints to target in treating any number of conditions through acupuncture.
Acupuncture has been used in the treatment of pain, disease, and other health problems for centuries, with consistently excellent results. Although its usefulness as a healing modality has met with skepticism among some practitioners of western medicine, its efficacy has stood up to intense clinical scrutiny. In other words, acupuncture works.

After meeting to discuss your symptoms, Dr. Mosher will customize a treatment plan that addresses your goals and your unique biochemical expression.
A Customized Treatment Plan
In many cases, acupuncture is the primary course of treatment; however, it is rarely the sole course of treatment. Its effectiveness is generally increased by adjunct therapies such as cupping, moxibustion, herbal supplements, a prescribed diet, and structural alignment. Dr. Mosher will customize a treatment plan that addresses your goals and your unique biochemical expression. In all likelihood, acupuncture will be one part - albeit an essential part - of a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to treatment.
