Things to Know about Doc Avi Ginsberg DAc

Dr. Avi got his start in the healthcare industry 25 years ago as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor; teaching kickboxing, flexibility, and strength training classes in New Paltz, NY. In 1998 Dr. Avi started doing 推拿 tui na and 按摩 an mo, which are traditional systems of medical massage utilizing tendon, muscle, and bone manipulation.

In 1999, he began practicing acupuncture in New York City and started clinical work in large medical facilities in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. During that time, Dr. Avi initiated his learning of the traditional Chen family Tai Ji (Tai Chi) and Shaolin Gong Fu in the Overseas Shaolin Temple in Queens, NY.

In 2004, Dr. Avi moved overseas; living in China, Taiwan and Australia for 7 years. During that time, he focused on improving his skills in acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietetics, traditional physiotherapy, exercise therapy, tai chi and qi gong. After returning to the U.S. in late 2010, he began working in NYC and the Hudson Valley doing acupuncture again; this time with the addition of teaching Tai Qi and Qi Gong.

Dr. Avi landed in Colorado in 2015 to reconnect with his Colorado family. Dr. Avi specializes in pain management, lung, and digestive disorders, vitality, and longevity. His philosophy is one of teaching self-reliance and not dependency.

He holds his M.S. in Acupuncture Science from the Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City and his Doctorate in Acupuncture from the Pacific College of Health and Science in San Diego, CA.
