The Benefits of Acupuncture

Lixin Zhang is a successful acupuncturist with offices in Cherry Creek.  Lixin offers free educational seminars to interested groups on the benefits of acupuncture in the treatment of both acute and chronic illness, as well as a tool to achieve optimal health.  Lectures are 30 minutes and include acupuncture demonstrations (which often show immediate results), as well as his clinical success stories.  Each talk is specific to the needs of the group.

Not only is Lixin a humorous and lively individual, his story is nothing short of fascinating. Born in China to a family of acupuncturists spanning 10 generations, his acupuncture training started at the age of 9. Lixin has more than 30 years clinical experience in both China and the United States, and has treated thousands of people with traditional therapies.  He was trained in the fields of both Western and Traditional Chinese medicine in northeastern China, specializing in neurological and degenerative disorders.  

In 1992, he became Chief Doctor of his acupuncture department at the Red Cross Hospital in Beijing.  A number of his medical research studies were published throughout the 90s, and he has been featured in the Chinese national press and television.  

Lixin wants to share his extensive knowledge and experience in the field of acupuncture.  He has seen acupuncture bring hope back into the lives of many patients with “terminal” or “untreatable chronic pain” prognoses. He hopes to demonstrate the power of this ancient healing art with those who today are suffering with conditions that are pronounced “untreatable” or for which simply palliative therapies are offered by Western medicine, but for which he feels confident he can make a difference.
