Cynthia Birkhimer, OMD

I became interested in Chinese Medicine after receiving my own significant results with Acupuncture treatment. I had sustained injuries from an automobile accident in 1983 that left me with chronic neck and lower back pain with leg pain (sciatica). I had been using Chiropractic manipulation and massage for my pain with only temporary relief at best. While studying Biochemistry at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I took a course on integrative medicine and was introduced to Acupuncture. I received my first treatments and pain relief in years and decided to pursue an education and career in Chinese Medicine.

I graduated Cum Laude from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 1992 with the Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine degree. I was licensed by the Medical Board of California in 1993. I received a Doctor of Oriental Medicine degree from South Baylo University, Anaheim CA in 2006. I received my Qualified Medical Evaluator certification from the California Division of Workers Compensation Medical Unit in 2012.

I have been a founding Board of Directors member of several professional organizations:
  • 1997-1998 California State Oriental Medicine Association
  • 2000 National Guild for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, #62 AFL-CIO
  • 2001 National Oriental Medicine Accreditation Agency, a first professional OMD degree program

For almost 21 years I was the key provider in all aspects of acupuncture at MemorialCare Medical Group in Westminster and Huntington Beach, California.
