Timothy Iliff, LAc, DACM

In all forms of medicine, pain is one of the biggest complaints patients have. Pain can cause loss of income, decreased quality of life, and contribute to anxiety and depression. Acupuncture is a 2,000-year-old health system that has created many tools to help treat pain symptoms and causes. Today, licensed acupuncturists specializing in pain management receive several thousand hours of training in effectively using treatment, Chinese herbology, nutrition, and chi gong exercise to improve health and vitality and eliminate pain.

​

Tim is a licensed acupuncturist in Ohio and is accredited by the National Board of Acupuncture (NCCAOM). He holds a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine from the Pacific College of Health and Science. He is a top authority on treating chronic and acute pain, neuropathy,  and increasing mobility with Chinese medicine.

 

​

Tim has a deep understanding of pain and it’s root causes. He designed and taught numerous graduate courses on pain management acupuncture at the Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, where he completed his master’s degree.  His experience includes contracting with the United States Air Force and Army in their integrative pain clinic at JBER in Alaska, where he treated active and retired soldiers with pain, combat injuries, post-traumatic stress, and morphine dependency.

​

Tim has also had a successful career as a certified personal trainer addressing sports injury recovery with chi-gong exercises. This unique experience helps him facilitate healing in athletes of all abilities, including those who are amputees.

He’s also had experience with competitive swimming, wrestling, rock climbing, weightlifting, and college gymnastics.

​

His natural athleticism and 20-year Chinese Kung Fu practice have deepened his understanding of how the human body can move, adjust, and adapt to any kind of stress.
