About Dr. Aaron Lee, DAOM, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)®, L.Ac, CMTPT/DNAc

Dr. Aaron is first and foremost an orthopedic and sports medicine specialized Acupuncturist. He has always been physically active from being a competitive swimmer, weightlifter, and CrossFitter throughout his life. Currently his focus is on fascial planes and integrating movement through fascia to enhance and rehab joints through the musculoskeletal system.

Dr. Aaron was always on track to becoming a Medical Doctor since childhood, but learned about Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine during his undergraduate education at the University of Austin, when he was currently dealing with stress, muscle aches from exercise, and seasonal allergies.

It was at that time that he realized that there’s more to medicine and the human body than medications and surgery and that there are alternative and effective ways at improving health and longevity through Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.

Once completing his undergrad education, he decided to get his Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine and eventually chose after to get the highest degree in the United States, the Post-Graduate Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) education from Five Branches University. This degree gave Dr. Aaron even more insight into proper research techniques and expanded his viewpoint on integrative and complementary medicine with Western Medical practitioners.

During his DAOM education, Dr. Aaron conducted research on the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia through Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine and presented it to the global research association : International Symposium on Acupuncture and Moxibustion.

Furthermore, Dr. Aaron continued his education and interests of fitness, food, more orthopedic techniques, by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Primal Health Coach, Certified Medical Qigong Practitioner, and Certified Sports and Orthopedic Medicine.

He also expanded his skillset by becoming one of the first officially certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists and Dry Needling Acupuncturists in the San Jose, Bay Area through Myopain Seminars as well as a Certified Pelvic Floor Acupuncturist.
