About David Cohen
David L. Cohen, D.O. has over 30 years of experience as a general medical practitioner. He has been Board Certified in Medical Acupuncture by the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture for over ten years and was a clinical instructor of “Medical Acupuncture for Physicians” at UCLA. He specializes in the treatment of all types of pain, utilizing a pain treatment technique called Craig PENS. Craig PENS (Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a pain treatment technique developed by William F. Craig, M.D. It involves the placement of acupuncture needles through the skin, near nerves, to help pain sufferers recover normal function. Once correctly placed near the nerves responsible for the generation of the pain signals, the needles are then stimulated with precisely regulated electrical current. According to Dr Craig, "Almost any kind of pain can be treated with Craig PENS. The conditions treated most successfully are neck and low back pain, shingles, Trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain (see below) and diabetic neuropathy. Some kinds of joint pains respond well depending on the age and degree of the injury or arthritis involved.” In addition, research is fast finding more conditions that respond well to Craig PENS. For example, new studies suggest that Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Spastic Colon and Urinary Bladder problems can be helped with this technique. Dr. Cohen also devotes a large percentage of his practice to patients seeking help with infertility, be it naturally or via assisted technology such as IUI or IVF. A review of the medical literature on acupuncture and female fertility published in the journal Fertility and Sterility has shown that acupuncture can help reduce stress, increase blood flow to the reproductive organs and normalize ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Dr. Cohen is one of the few doctors in US who has advanced education and solid knowledge in both Eastern and Western medicine. His unique background allows him to combine the best from ancient theory and leading age technologies, providing optimal solutions to his patients. Dr. Cohen’s office is located in Oakwood, Georgia, just 27 miles outside of Atlanta. He is currently accepting new patients. Call (770) 534-8064 to schedule an appointment. |
