The Acupuncture Center of La Jolla has been serving Southern California since 1989.

Throughout the years, we have worked as a part of the community to provide complementary methods of healing that best serve our patients. We coined the phrase, "Chinese Medicine for an American Lifestyle" back in 1989 to establish our desire to bring this most ancient form of healing into the modern world.

Just ask our patients. They are, after all, our biggest advocates. Ask any of their friends and family as well...more than likely, they are patients, too.

We invite you to come and experience the difference that acupuncture can make in your life.

She specializes in pain management and allergies/sensitivities employing various techniques from Tui Na (Chinese massage) to NAET.

Here at our Rockville, MD acupuncture center, we specialize in a different style of acupuncture therapy, not widely available. This method is more than 2000 years old and comes from the I Ching, one of the oldest books in the world. This method has several names such as: I Ching Acupuncture, The Balance Method, or Distal Point Acupuncture. No matter what you call it, the effects often seem miraculous to patients.

We commonly use points that are distant from the site of the symptom. Pain relief frequently occurs in seconds and long lasting relief over a series of treatments is usually at least 80%.

We have successfully treated patients with a wide variety of health conditions over the last twenty years, and we can help you too!
