Whether you are interested in relieving pain or eliminating stress, anxiety or emotional issues, Inner Harmony Acupuncture will provide you individualized health care by focusing on treating the root cause of your disease, encouraging the body's inherent healing abilities, and seeking to restore energy and vitality.
Each healing session is tailored to the patient needs, which means that two people who suffer from the same condition will receive different treatment protocols based on their unique expression of symptoms and way they are out of balance.
You will be treated by a practitioner who is a keen listener to your body/mind/spirit and who will work to find the best treatment that best suits your condition. She will use her knowledge and intuition to provide you with support and guidance on your healing journey.

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.
