Gregory E. LeBlanc, MSOM, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac., Dipl.C.H.

​Greg graduated from SAMRA University in 1995 with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine. He has taught at both SARMA University (Los Angeles) and the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences (Oakland); teaching Acupuncture Point Location, Chinese Medicine Nutrition and Pharmacology. He has been in private practice for 27 years, managing his own specialty clinic offering Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM: acupuncture and herbal medicine).

Greg was trained in Acupuncture Orthopedics at the American Acupuncture Academy by Dr. Hua Gu, M.D., Ph.D. and learned The Balance Method directly from its founder Dr. Richard Tan, OMD. In addition to his postgraduate education he has to date accrued over 700 hours of continuing education as required for the state and national licensure. Greg is a California licensed acupuncturist (AC 5517) and is Board certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (NCCAOM).

Greg is a life long student of the martial arts and coaches classes in Wing Chun Kung Fu in El Cerritto CA. Greg has been a student of Zen since 1986 and is a authorized teacher of Zen meditation and Koan practice through the Five Mountains school of Zen. He is an avid hiker, taking advantage weekly of the local trekking opportunities in the bay area. Greg is originally from Los Angeles, moving to the Bay Area in 2006. He is a Founding member of the California Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

Greg combines his training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture Orthopedics and The Balance Method to provide a dynamic, effective and integrative approach to treatment. He has completed numerous courses in a wide variety of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine methods, styles, and specialties; spanning the full range of conditions benefited by TCM. Greg has for over a decade been a provider for Veterans Affairs (through TriWest) and for Federal employees (via the OWCP).

Greg believes a complete approach to health, healing and well-being involves therapies such as acupuncture and herbal medicine; plus stress reduction, exercise, and nutrition. The Chinese doctors for thousands of years have recommended a variety of practices, habits and behaviors for the promotion and maintenance of health and well-being. Today meditation, REBT/CBT based therapies, and mindfulness training are mainstream, as are recommendations for therapeutic diet and regular exercise, these ideas have been common practice in Chinese medicine for millennia.

"Greg LeBlanc relieved my severe plantar fasciitis pain on the first visit after 2 years of treatment by podiatrists and PT.
He is calm, confident, and experienced. Highly recommended."
