To increase understanding and appreciation of acupuncture and Oriental medicine, Pacific College of Oriental Medicine will celebrate North American Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day at all three of its campuses, San Diego, New York, and Chicago on October 24, 2007. Each campus will observe the day with various events.
Pacific College’s San Diego and Chicago campuses will be offering complimentary treatments for first time patients as well as $10 off treatment for current patients on Wednesday, October 24, 2007. This offer needs to be mentioned or coupon surrendered at time of treatment for offer to be valid.
Pacific’s New York Campus will be hosting a free Open House for the public from 3:30 to 5:30 pm with featured activities that teach about acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Oriental body therapy. On that same day from 5:30 to 8:00 pm, there will be complimentary acupuncture for balance, as well as stress acupuncture and qi gong workshops.
 Acupuncture has been used to treat (or relieve the pain of) dozens of ailments. The national institute of health recognizes its usefulness in treating addiction, fibromyalgia, headaches, cramps, back pain, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel, asthma, and more. According to www.acupunctureschool.com’s careers statistics, employment in the alternative therapy and non-mainstream medicine fields is expected to increase by 48.8% from 2002 to 2012.
