ABOUT
Edward Jwa, Ph.D., L.Ac.
Dr. Jwa discovered his passion for Asian Medicine after being diagnosed with severe kidney disease at the age of 11. Through the use of acupuncture and herbal remedies, his condition significantly improved, and he found comfort and peace in visiting his Asian Medicine clinic. However, as he progressed through college and majored in economics, following in his father's footsteps, he gradually let go of his love for Asian Medicine. He later realized that his true passion was in helping others with health conditions, similar to his own, and withdrew from his PhD program to attend Samra University in Los Angeles, the oldest acupuncture college in the US, where he studied Korean traditional medicine. He graduated with a Master's degree and license in 2010, and later earned his PhD in Oriental Medicine from American Liberty University in 2017.
Dr. Jwa’s practice combines traditional Asian Medicine with modern technology, using acupuncture and herbal medicine along with radiofrequency and microcurrent therapy to improve treatment outcomes and help patients feel more comfortable engaging with traditional Asian Medicine through contemporary adaptations.
