About Dr. Aaron Lee, DAOM, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)®, L.Ac, CMTPT/DNAc
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine officially came into my life during my third year at the University of Texas at Austin while pursuing my Bachelor's of Science in Microbiology. I was stressed during midterms and was taking Claritin due to seasonal allergies. A friend of mine introduced me to South Austin Community Acupuncture during this time and after my first treatment, I instantly felt relief. I felt more calm and was able to think more clearly and the symptoms of my allergies such as runny nose, itchy red eyes, etc. were greatly reduced.
Seeing and being taught the limitations of Western Medicine and Pharmaceuticals during my undergraduate career, I realized that Traditional Chinese Medicine and its holistic view of the human body was more in line with my passion for helping others. However, I firmly believe the each medicine complements the other and the integration of both can greatly benefit every patient.
Combining my interests and hobbies of fitness, food, meditation, and helping others, I furthered my education by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Primal Health Coach, Certified Medical Qigong Practitioner, and Certified Sports and Orthopedic Medicine while here in California.
I enjoy helping people achieve their health goals by integrating nutrition, movement, meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine into my treatment plans. A good life is ultimately about balance and I hope that I can share that knowledge with all of my patients.
I specialize in chronic pain management, sports medicine and orthopedic acupuncture, myofascial trigger point acupuncture and dry needling, and weight loss.
Dr. Aaron is treating on Saturdays and Sundays 9 AM-5 PM and Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM-6 PM. Dr. Aaron is fluent in English and some Mandarin chinese.
