Acupuncture School & Chinese Medicine

Over the past 50 years, acupuncture and other similar East Asian modalities such as herbology or tui na bodywork have increasingly gained in popularity. In fact, they have evolved into one of the most utilized forms of complementary integrative medicine interventions in the United States. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH)*, more than 10 million acupuncture treatments are administered annually in the United States alone. This rise in popularity can be attributed in part to its effectiveness for pain relief, nausea, allergies, and other chronic and acute conditions, and in part to the fact that scientific studies have begun to prove its efficacy.

Since 1986, Pacific College has led the movement and trained dedicated practitioners with graduate degrees in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. We tirelessly advocate for research and regulation, and even offered the very first doctorate completion program for acupuncturists holding a master’s degree back in 2016. Today, as acupuncture continues to grow as a non-pharmaceutical, adjunct modality to conventional allopathic medical treatments, the demand from patients and their loved ones is increasing, and acupuncture is now offered even at prestigious academic medical centers.
