Dr. Joseph "Chip" Beardsley MSOM, AP-DOM graduated from Florida College of Integrative Medicine in Orlando. During his time there his interest in natural healing through Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine led him to auricular therapy, an ancient form of healing that uses the ear to detect and improve health problems. For three additional years he studied under the tutelage of Dr. Li-Chun Huang, China's leading researcher in the field of Auricular Therapy. In addition to Terry Oleson and Jim Shores, PhD who researched Auricular medicine from a technical and scientific view, using FMRI, CAT scans and other western technologies. They investigated and confirmed the workings of the healing results from the auricle and charted the findings for future Practitioners.
Dr. Chip is one of few that has studied and trained in the use of both eastern and western techniques.
This gives him a distinct advantage when it comes to the treatment of illness, known disorders and pain management.
