About Me
Alex Shpigel, L.Ac.
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My wellness clinic is in the historic Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego, California.
My Training
I hold a Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and have an undergrad degree in Biology from UCSD. I have over six years of intensive clinical experience, specializing in helping people with acute and chronic pain, including sports injuries, arthritis and low back pain. I can also help you with stress, fatigue and insomnia that are so much a part of modern life.
Experience and Other Stuff
My background has prepared me for many areas of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have over 15 years experience in the Chinese Internal Arts of Hsing-I, Ba Gua and Tai Chi. I won the International Kuoshu Championship 5 years in a row and I took the gold in the World Tournament.
It was an unfortunate accident while training that led me to the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which healed me and led to a new career.
Now I am also a Certified Personal Trainer, so my acupuncture practise, especially the treatment of sports injuries, is very helpful to have for my clients.
Please remember that Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are not replacements for western medicine, but work as complementary options.
