About

Dr. Catherine Burns is an acupuncturist practicing in Los Altos and San Carlos CA. Dr. Burns evaluates and treats patients based on the concepts of oriental medicine. Acupuncturists complete their evaluations by getting a patient history and looking at and palpating specific acu points on the body. Then, they place very fine acupuncture needles into specific points on the body. Stimulating these points is how Dr. Burns treats the patients condition. Many of the body's systems respond to acupuncture, and it can optimally treat physical pain as well as emotional stress.
