Jim Burnis

I'm Jim Burnis, a licensed acupuncturist practicing in Gold Canyon Arizona under my LLC Acupuncture Alternatives. I earned my Degree in Acupuncture from the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture and am certified thru the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. After graduation I completed a postgraduate internship at the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and completed Advanced Herbalist Training thru the Institute of Chinese Herbology. In 2015 I completed a Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification program. My Undergraduate work includes BS degree from Arizona State University, post graduate work in Psychology and extensive training in multiple areas of Medical Imaging.

The analytical approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine is my primary tool for diagnosis and treatment; however, I utilize meridian therapy, trigger point therapy, the balance method, and auricular therapy as necessary. Most recently I've begun to incorporate the tools of structural analysis with sports injuries.

My focus is and will remain one on one personalized attention and treatment. The very serene desert location of his practice adds to the healing environment.
