Welcome, I am Christopher J. Salah, DAOM., L.Ac. I am a California state licensed acupuncturist and one of very few practitioners in our country to posses a clinical doctorate in Oriental medicine.

Through years of practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine, studying Eastern medical theory and interacting with patients and practitioners alike I have experienced the pleasure of witnessing first hand how beautiful and strong the human being really is. Not only do I love what I do, I fully believe that all of us can live vibrant lives. Sometimes though, we need a little extra help. That is what I offer. I combine acupuncture and herbal medicines with suggestions for diet and exercise to support my patients in finding better health.

Although it sounds contradictory, the saying about a medical practice is that the doctor chooses who his patients are. Instead of listing the generic list of diseases acupuncture is beneficial for; please find some of the problems of my current and past patients that I have helped to find relief.

“When I first saw Chris I was a major mess; suffering with allergies that no prescription med would touch and I was in a continual fog from Benadryl. Even it had ceased to be effective. My body was toxic and this once marathoner had little energy and low level depression. After the first few appointments with Chris, I began to improve. He treated me with skill, sensitivity and intuition, and today I am making it through this extended season of extremely high pollen count, on NO meds, OTC or otherwise. I have high confidence in Chris, and have referred family members and friends to him. Here’s to health and vitality to all!”
