Bio

Shabnam

 

Shabnam Pourhassani has been a state licensed acupuncturist since 2008.  She has two masters degrees and one doctorates degree. She obtained 13 years of post-graduate education to address contemporary health conditions, which her masters and doctorates degrees failed to address. She provided primary care services from 2008-2020.

Her practice is currently limited to simple pain management, taking care of women during pregnancy and cosmetic acupuncture.

Evaluations and Consultations are required and provided virtually.

No acupuncture is provided without an evaluation.  Do you just have surgery without being evaluated?

Dr. Pourhassani, DACM presented her abstract at the Southern California Regional Dissemination, Implementation and Improvement Science Symposium and at the annual Integrative Medicine for the Underserved conference in 2024.

Pain

Acupuncture reduces inflammation, increases blood and oxygen to the muscles, tissues and ligaments locally. It affects the central nervous system by decreasing pain sensitivity, reducing the activity in the limbic system, which reduces pain, the associated anxiety and stress. I treat a wide variety of pain conditions from the spine, to head, to digestive aches. Schedule an appointment and find relief.
