Dr. Joe Davis is a California State Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM), herbalist. He has served on the didactic and clinical faculty of several prominent local acupuncture colleges, most recently filling the role of Clinical Director and Vice President of Education at AIMC. He came to Chinese medicine via his study of the martial arts of Tai Chi Quan and Ba Gua Zhang. These subtle practices rely on the cultivation of relaxation and sensitivity to generate health and skill. He has traveled and lived in Asia, studying meditation, martial arts, yoga, and Chi Gong in Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and India. Here he also witnessed Traditional Chinese medicine in public health settings, where it was being used to address the needs of large populations of people. He is a Professor in the adjunct faculty of ACCHS in Oakland. He is also certified by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) as an Acudetox Specialist, and has been an intern at the clinic of renowned fertility specialist, Dr. Lifang Liang. He has completed advanced trainings in Master Tung’s traditional family acupuncture, and has advanced training in orthopedic acupuncture. Joe brings his knowledge of the context, breadth, and philosophy of Eastern cultures to his practice of medicine. Health cultivation is not a “fix” that a doctor or acupuncturist gives you, but is a process that the practitioner and patient engage in together. Movement, lifestyle, diet, and meditation, as well as acupuncture and herbs, are all life-giving parts of this journey. He lives with his family in north Oakland, and is delighted to be able to offer his community the many approaches to wellness of Chinese medicine.
