Acupuncture

Many people are hesitant when it comes to acupuncture, but it is an incredibly safe, painless and effective way to treat pain and improve overall health.  Acupuncture is a holistic treatment method that originated in China over a thousand years ago and has been proven in clinical trials to treat and improve a number of medical conditions such as  lower back pain, headaches, neck pain, depression, stress and anxiety.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized acupuncture as a very effective method of treatment for neurological conditions and pain relief. 

Dr. Bruce Rachum in Berwyn is trained in both Chinese and Korean acupuncture along with a technique called Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) and has been practicing acupuncture since 2000. Dr. Rachum also uses auricular acupuncture which is a type of ear acupuncture without needles.   We offer cupping and gua sha as an add on treatment method in addition to your chiropractic treatment. If you are looking for an experienced acupuncturist in Berwyn,

We will ask you to fill out the new patient intake paperwork and we can discuss your insurance coverage and benefits.

Before your first visit, please refrain from a heavy meal prior to your appointment.   

Please wear comfortable and loose fitting clothing so that you do not need to change into a hospital gown.

First, Dr. Rachum will meet with you to determine your particular needs.  He will examine you and review your medical history.  He will then discuss with you your options as far as treatment.  

Each treatment plan is done an individual basis, as each patient has differing needs and responds differently. 

We do not believe in the selling of generic pre-packaged treatment plans. 

Please drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins. 

Please refrain from any heavy meals or strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day.

Please call us with any questions or concerns.

Many patients report feeling relaxed and wanting to nap after a treatment.

Dr. Rachum will want to know at your next visit how you responded afterwards to your treatment.
