Dr. Jordan Barber, DAOM, is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, author, and clinical researcher in integrative medicine. He practices at New York Acupuncture Group in Manhattan, where his work centers on pelvic floor dysfunction, neuromuscular pain, and neurological-based disorders, and he has published peer-reviewed research on trigger point physiology and dry needling.

Dr. Jordan Barber, DAOM, is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, author, and clinical researcher whose work sits at the mechanism-first end of integrative medicine. He earned his doctorate from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine and is licensed in New York and Florida. His clinical focus is pelvic floor dysfunction, neuromuscular and orthopedic pain, and, increasingly, neurological-based disorders, treated by identifying the specific pain generator rather than applying a fixed protocol. He has published peer-reviewed research on trigger point physiology and dry needling, including a 2024 ultrasound study showing measurable trigger point reduction. He is the author of Realigning Medicine and co-author, with Peter Caron, of Thinking in Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture. Alongside his degrees, he trained for years under classical lineages in Daoist medicine, Yin Style Ba Gua, and the Jingfang herbal tradition. He co-founded New York Acupuncture Group.

Dr. Jordan Barber, DAOM, is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, author, and clinical researcher in integrative medicine, based in New York. His work moved early from following systems toward understanding mechanism: what actually happens in tissue when a needle changes a patient's pain. That question narrowed his practice to the problems where needle-based treatment has a defensible physiological rationale, and it drives both his research and his writing.

Clinically, he treats pelvic floor dysfunction, neuromuscular and orthopedic pain, headache and facial pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation, and his focus is extending into neurological-based disorders. He works by identifying the pain generator from a physical assessment and choosing the technique that addresses it, whether that is trigger point needling, electroacupuncture, or peripheral neuromodulation.

His research includes a 2024 retrospective study using diagnostic ultrasound to document trigger point size reduction in the trapezius following dry needling, and a 2023 cross-discipline narrative review comparing acupuncture and dry needling against trigger point physiology. A further manuscript on pelvic floor myofascial dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms is under peer review. He is the author of Realigning Medicine: Building an Authentic, Fulfilling, and Thriving Healthcare Practice and co-author of Thinking in Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture.

His formal training includes a DAOM from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine, a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from New York College of Health Professions, and post-graduate certification from Tri-State College of Acupuncture. He first qualified as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2004. Alongside the degrees, he trained for years under three classical lineages: Daoist medicine within Long Men Pai, the medical side of Yin Style Ba Gua, and the Jingfang classical-formula herbal tradition. He is periodically retained as an expert legal and testifying consultant in matters involving acupuncture and dry needling, and has held faculty and institutional-review roles at New York College of Health Professions and Pacific College of Health and Science. He co-founded New York Acupuncture Group, where he continues to see patients.
