Dr. Eichenauer's Credentials
On this page we will provide a brief overview of my background,
education, training and experience.
My interest in acupuncture began in 1954 when I was four years
old, and I kid you not me and the other kids who were my friends
gave each other treatments with needles. Later when I was 7 years
old I had an old wooden cigar box my grandfather had given me
which I had filled with my tools and I carried it around saying to
myself, "I could cure any one of anything with these tools."
What were my tools? They were needles, alcohol, cotton balls and
little stones. You know I didn't remember this until I was in my
second semester of study to become an Acupuncture Physician. Did
this give you chills? It did me, when I remembered it. Are some
people destined to do what they do?
Later I experimented with herbs to reduce my high blood pressure.
The herb that worked?: garlic. Ever since, I have continued my
study of herbs and herbology (thousands of hours) and use them
for my own and others health maintenance and restoration.
I graduated from the East West College of Natural Medicine to
become a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture Physician
from a 4 year program that I completed in 3 years with straight As.
Not only did my studies include all areas of Oriental medicine and
acupuncture, but there was thorough study of Western scientific
and medical course work including: Western Anatomy and
Physiology, Western Pathology, Western Bio-Medical Terminology,
Orthopedic Evaluation and Terminology, Clinical Nutrition,
Radiology and Terminology, Lab Tests and Terminology, Basic
Western Diagnostic Skills, and Western Pharmacology.
I had more than 2700 hours of class study, twice that number of
hours of outside study and 710 hours of hands on clinical
experience treating over 300 different patients with all kinds of
serious health conditions.
Since I graduated and opened my own practice in 2002, driven
primarily by referrals from satisfied patient's, I have spent
thousands of hours in advanced studies of Chinese individual herbs
and complex herbal formulas, as well as advanced studies on
acupuncture diagnostic skills and point prescription formulation.
I have since also received training in Electro-Meridian-Imaging and
uses EMI testing in his practice.
In 2002, I developed the revolutionary Somato-Spiritual-Emotional
Technique (SSET) tm.
In 2007 I received extensive training in Acupuncture/Acupressure
Face Lift and Facial Rejuvenation from Dr. Zee Lo one of the
foremost and most successful facial rejuvenation-acupuncture and
acupuncture face lift practitioners in the country.
Prior to becoming a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, I earned a Bachelor's
degree (BA) in psychology from Florida State University at Tallahassee, FL in
1973 with practical experience as a crisis intervention counselor. Upon
graduation I was employed as a Medical Disability Examiner for the Social
Security Disability program and received extensive training in what we call
Western or Allopathic Medicine. During this period I made determinations
of disability for applicants for the Social Security Disability Program. In
1987 I earned an MBA again from FSU graduating 2nd in my class, Beta
Gamma Sigma. I then worked as a defense contract negotiator and
manager for such Fortune 500 companies and Martin Marietta, Northrup,
Litton, and Loral until I left and attended school for Oriental Medicine.
