Dr. David Cai
Graduating from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 1991, Dr. Cai is extinguished in the field of traditional and complimentary medicine. While serving as a researcher at the affiliated hospital of the University, he was inspired by the influx of modern medical technology. He sought to “take what works and discard what does not”, in order to integrate new models and technology into traditional medicine.
Hailing From Tradition, Embracing Modernity
“The combination of modern systems and traditional techniques have allowed us to create a unique process of results-based treatment. We wish to use this treatment process to help improve the wellbeing of our patients.”
After working with Dr. JiaSan Yang, the Beijing University of Traditional Medicine department head and finding inspiration from physicians Dr. Arthur Weinstein and Dr. J.N. Wu during clinical trials at George Washington University, Dr. Cai developed Acutherapy℠ in 1998.
