A Family Care and Pain Clinic
1000 Folded Cranes Acupuncture and Family Health Clinic provides therapeutic healing and wellness for the entire family. Dr. Fred Ragsdale, DACM, is a primary care physician trained in Western and Complementary medicine. Although most people first visit an acupuncturist for pain therapy, Dr. Ragsdale also has over a decade of treating gynecological, pediatric, psycho-emotional, and auto-immune conditions. Common healing techniques include acupuncture, cupping therapy, physical therapy, trigger point therapy, cold laser therapy, and other holistic techniques, eastern and western.
Our clinic is at the nexus of West Hollywood, Miracle Mile, Beverly Grove, and Koreatown, while offering a mobile-care program (at-home or workplace), for your convenience. As a primary care physician, Dr. Ragsdale orders and analyzes x-rays, MRIs, blood panels, and other diagnostic tools, providing the most effective acupuncture and family medical services in West Hollywood/Miracle Mile. We treat acute and chronic pain for all ages, including children, with an emphasis on personal well-being and transformation.
“My back pain has been resolved thanks to Dr. Ragsdale. By my 4th acupuncture visit, I was more than 50% better. He’s awesome!”
– S. Stewart

Gaining trust
I treat patients like family
Combining Chinese and Western medicine provides a unique approach to treatment. A good practitioner will treat the symptom or “branch”, while also treating the underlying condition or “root.”
Dr. Fred Ragsdale now offers Trigger Point Therapy.
By releasing trigger points, it promotes a natural healing response. As muscle fibers begin to relax, the pain associated with the tightness begins to fade, which promotes the release of histamines, relaxing blood vessels, and increasing blood flow into the area.
Trigger points are very common. Learn more
