ABOUT MATTHEW BAUER

After studying Daoism with a 74th generation Daoist Master for 10 years, Matthew Bauer started his private practice in a small community in Southern California in 1986. Some of his first patients were older adults from nearby elder care facilities that were looking for relief from their difficult to manage conditions. Word spread in these facilities and this patient demographic soon became the majority, helping to build Matthew’s practice.

Matthew became involved with acupuncture professional organizations while holding a deep interest in educating the public about the benefits of acupuncture. He authored dozens of articles and two books including the popular practice building book: “Making Acupuncture Pay”.

In 2015, Matthew started the not-for-profit Acupuncture Now Foundation (ANF) to pursue educating the public. The ANF’s latest initiative is their campaign to educate the public, healthcare providers and health policymakers about acupuncture’s ability to treat peripheral neuropathy.
