Deidre K. Braun, M.S.,
L.Ac., is a fellowship-trained acupuncturist and herbalist who has been
practicing at Desert Orthopedic Center since 1999. Prior to coming to DOC,
she had her own acupuncture practice in Torrance, CA. A native of Southern California, Braun earned her Master’s of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Yo-San University in Santa Monica, CA. Following an internship at Yo-San, she conducted a fellowship in acupuncture at the Luzhou Medical College and Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in China. In 1997, she began a 20-month study at UCLA with the Laboratory for the Study of Addictions to determine acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating the symptoms of withdrawal. Braun is licensed by the State of California and by the National Council for Certification of Acupuncturists. Additionally, she has taught at Samra University in Los Angeles and Yo-San University. Acupuncture can provide effective pain relief for a variety of conditions including arthritis, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, joint pain, sports injuries, headaches, migraine, PMS, sinusitis, and asthma, as well as other disorders. Most major private insurance companies cover a percentage of acupuncture treatments. Braun sees patients at Desert Orthopedic Center’s Rancho Mirage facility. An allied health professional with staff privileges at Eisenhower Medical Center, she also provides acupuncture services to chemotherapy patients (to reduce nausea and other side effects), as well as to post-operative patients (to lower pain and promote healing). Braun also offers pain management consulting to physicians and their patients. |
