Dr. Deborah Fahrbach, DACM, L.Ac.

​

Dr. Fahrbach came to Chinese medicine after an increasing interest and then passion for the fields of health and wellness.  As the co-owner of a health and fitness business with her husband, she found that she most enjoyed talking to their clients about how to correct illness and imbalances in their health by changing diet, making lifestyle changes, correcting dietary deficiencies with supplementation, and finding the right medical practitioners (naturopaths, DO’s, acupuncturists, functional medicine practitioners, etc.) to help them on their journeys back to a healthful state. When she herself sought out medical treatment for a chronic respiratory issue from a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine who used acupuncture and Chinese herbs to help her, she knew that learning this medicine was a way that she could directly and powerfully make a difference in the lives of people struggling with health concerns.

 

Dr. Fahrbach attended the prestigious Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Manhattan completing a four-year Master of Science program in Traditional Oriental Medicine and then a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine which included more than 1,100 clinical hours and over 2,700 didactic hours of training.  Mentored by medical experts from China, Taiwan, Europe and the Americas, Dr. Fahrbach is skilled in all primary treatment modalities of Chinese Medicine: acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal formulas, cupping, gua sha, and tui na. 

 

As a complimentary medicine extern at NYU Langone Hospital's Departments of Neurology and Pain Management, she gained additional experience treating patients suffering from post-stroke conditions, both physical and emotional, as well as a variety of other neurological issues.  She also treated patients with acute and chronic painful spinal, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions.

 

Dr. Fahrbach has a particular passion for treating patients who have chronic health issues impacting their quality of life.  She also has a focus on helping patients who have struggled with controlling their weight.  Dr. Fahrbach promotes an atmosphere of support and compassion in her practice as her patients work to make lifestyle changes to support their healing bodies which are coming into balance and better health with the help of Chinese medicine.

 

In addition, Dr. Fahrbach works with all ages of patients treating pain of all types, insomnia, stress and anxiety, immune issues, women’s health, skin conditions, digestive issues, and a variety of other health concerns.

​

 

Her career as an educator and then in the health and fitness industry both are of great help to her when talks to her patients about planning for and executing the lifestyle changes needed in order to shift their bodies and lives into better health.   Dr. Fahrbach is licensed in acupuncture by the State of New York and nationally board certified in acupuncture and Chinese herbs by NCCAOM.
