Dr. Cynthia Cheng, DC, LAc
Dr. Ya-Yuan Cheng comes to Whole Health Clinic as a licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Chiropractic. She comes from a very extensive line of oriental medicine practitioners and is a fifth generation practitioner in her family!
Starting from the young age of 10, she would travel all over the province with her mother (also an oriental medicine practitioner) to provide free clinic services to those who are less fortunate. She learned early on that this was what wanted to do when she grew up.
Dr. Cheng immigrated to the U.S. after completing high school. She attended University of California, Berkeley where she earned her B.S. degree in Integrative Biology. She furthered her studies at Southern California University of Health Sciences and graduated Valedictorian of her class for her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine as well as achieving high honors for her Doctorate degree in Chiropractic.
After receiving her degrees, she was invited to teach at her alma mater as a lab instructor in anatomy, physical therapy, and chiropractic technique classes. During that time she also volunteered at Help for Brain-Injured Children (HBIC) in Whittier, CA began building her own practice.
