I believe healing happens through connection—between patient and practitioner, mind and body, and clinical experience and intuition. Dr. Peter Caron, DACM, specializes in pain management, sports medicine, and psychological wellness. He began his journey into Chinese Medicine at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, where his fascination with bodywork and movement evolved through training in Tui Na, Tai Chi, and energy work. He later completed his MSTOM at Pacific College of Health and Science (PCHS) in New York, with advanced studies in Chinese herbal medicine and orthopedics. Dr. Caron has performed over 10,000 treatments and brings global experience to his practice. He spent two years in rural Guatemala running a free clinic for underserved indigenous communities through Global Healthworks Foundation, later becoming GHF’s Central America Program Manager. This experience shaped his commitment to hands-on care, cultural humility, and sustainable health practices.
