Acupuncture Business Takes A Stab At Wellness In Malden

MALDEN, MA — The city celebrated the arrival of an acupuncture business this week.

Mayor Gary Christenson headlined a list of attendees for a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony of CBS Acupuncture’s newest location at 210 Pleasant St. According to Christenson, the company offers medical acupuncture, cupping therapy, herbal medicine, and holistic wellness treatments that are derived from a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical research.

CBS was founded by Dr. Weihui “Wendy” Li in 2013. The acronym in its name stands for “Circulation, Balance, and Stability.” Li earned her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University before conducting her fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital. Her other degrees include a Master’s in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Tsinghua University in China. The first CBS location was opened in Framingham. In the last 13 years, the company has expanded to a total of 10 spots throughout the state.

“Their aim is to make Chinese medicine more accessible and widely recognized,” Christenson said. “The clinic’s mission is to help patients achieve better prevention, treatment, and long-term wellness by addressing the root causes of health concerns and creating personalized treatment plans.”

Li’s staff consists of nine other people with expertise in acupuncture, diet, and herbs. They are spread throughout the communities of Hyde Park, Quincy, Walpole, Needham, Natick, Marlborough, Cambridge, Waltham, and Boston.

“Wendy is a visionary healer. Her mission is to educate others on how ancient wisdom and modern medicine are coming together in the next round of healthcare revolution,” the company said about Li in a statement. “Dr. Li believes that it will lead to a wider acceptance of integrated approaches to healthcare allowing all people to live longer, and healthier.”
