Relax! It’s…DTLA Acupuncture

DTLA Acupuncture

Relaxation is a MUST!

While there are myriad of legal remedies on the market for chronic and intolerable pain, mounting stress, and poor dietary habits one doesn’t always have to turn to ingesting elements that may cause adverse side effects, impair our driving ability, or swing us to and fro into different realities.  Relaxation however is a must and in the human need for authentic and holistic treatment options there lies the same desire for a healthcare practitioner that listens and guides us through lifestyle changes that treat the complex person inside and out.

Meet Shabnam Pourhassani

While personal life events catapulted Shabnam Pourhassani, L.Ac. Q.M.E. to acupuncture and Eastern medicine, a continued and uncompromising quest for quality care and continued education have made her one of the most distinguished specialists in Southern California. “Shabnam is an exceptionally rare breed of health providers,” is just one of countless praises bestowed upon Pourhassani and her DTLA Acupuncture practice, located inside the luxurious Frais Day Spa.  As a licensed California certified acupuncturist, Shabnam has studied and trained with the most highly regarded and rigorous courses available worldwide, including certifications from Harvard University, UC Irvine, NYU Lutheran Medical Center, and many more.  She holds a bachelor degree in Holistic Science and a Master of Science in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine. She is a California Qualified Workers Compensation Medical Examniner, Certified Hypnotherapist and Certified Health Coach.  She is on staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is an active member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Academy of Integrative Pain Management.

Just Ask the Chinese

Pourhassani’s knowledge and experience is vast, but her method of practice is meticulous and precise.  For the uninitiated or less informed, Oriental medicine is shrouded in mystery.  “The way that Chinese traditional medicine is portrayed in the mass media is greatly distorted, mostly by being identified solely with acupuncture, while the herbal and dietetic and physical medicine specialties within its scope in the West are ignored,” Pourhassani states.

In other words, it is not the fault of the consumer for the lack of understanding of a centuries old practice that requires great skill, insight, and wisdom.  The scientific research behind acupuncture and Chinese medicine is immense dynamic, and is the world’s largest organized herbal system.  Pourhassani’s practice carefully integrates Western diagnosis with scientifically researched Eastern protocols to treat complex conditions. A comprehensive biomedical analysis is made prior to the commencement of any treatment plan.  While stress and pain are two of the most commonly treated conditions, Pourhassani’s practice treats a variety of conditions, including sports injuries, disorders unresponsive to surgery or medication, cosmetic acupuncture, orthopedic, spine, addiction, drug detoxification and post-surgical issues

Acupuncture may get you pregnant

“Not all acupuncturists have the same style, technique, or specialize in the treatment of all conditions,” Shabnam explains.  With advanced certification to treat women’s health, pregnancy, and infertility, Pourhassani is a specialist in the growing field of reproductive health. This includes fertility preservation, aiding natural fertility, and IVF support.  As many women and couples delay child bearing to later in the fertility cycle, the field is in increasing demand.  Proper acupuncture can help induce ovulation, address low AMH levels, recurrent pregnancy loss, and diminished ovarian reserve.

“I think patients heal best when the interaction is kept relaxed, warm and they are provided health education for self-care purposes. I strive to provide this for patients over time.”

Before an initial appointment is made, an in-depth phone consultation is conducted. Patients are advised to bring all relevant medical records, including blood work, imaging reports, and any other requested materials.  Pourhassani assures your first visit is comfortable and as relaxed as possible.  Following a review of medical records and reports, treatment options and expected outcomes will be thoroughly discussed. The acupuncture procedure is on a comfortable, heated bed where free to drift into sleep and will feel little to no pain.  Lifestyle changes including diet, nutrition, and herbal supplements are a vital component to a successful outcome.  A referral to a specialist is made if necessary. DTLA Acupuncture. 819 S Flower St, Los Angeles, CA 90017 (213) 973-8776. dtla-acupuncture.com
