About Brad Whisnant

Brad Whisnant is a licensed acupuncturist and certified medicinal herbalist. He is a native of Oregon, graduating from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and later from Emperors College with his DAOM. Dr. Whisnant is a talented practitioner and an avid student of Dr. Jimmy Chang, Dr. Richard Tan, and Dr. Wei Chieh Young.

Dr. Whisnant brings 3,000 years of Chinese medicine into the present by incorporating modern research and clinical relevance in his treatment strategies. He has run volunteer clinics in Vietnam, Honduras, India and America. Treating over 150 patients per day enabled him to apply distal acupuncture methods and determine which method is most effective. He teaches a unique blend of the Balance Method and Master Tung acupuncture theories. His goal is to take acupuncture theories out of the textbook and into the clinic, and prove what works.

“I run my own non-profit organisation called Acupuncture Volunteer. I volunteer domestically and internationally taking free healthcare to those in need” – BW

He has an acupuncture clinic in St. Helens, Oregon, where he personally treats 100 patients per week. He attributes his business success to using distal methods, which are effective immediately, and encourage patients to continue with care. He also runs an outpatient detox program.

He has written a series of books on Tung and distal acupuncture. The books are a combination of theory and case studies. To ensure that these techniques are accessible, the point images are included in each case study.
