Dr. Xiping Zhou, MDOM, CMT, L.Ac, is an expert in traditional Chinese medical acupuncture who brings to the table (literally) more than a quarter-century of experience in the Chinese healing arts as a practitioner and a teacher of acupuncture, TaiChi, QiGong.

My goal is to help you achieve optimum health and wellness. Having evolved over thousands of years, Acupuncture is one of the oldest continually practiced medical modalities in the world. Acupuncture is used to prevent and treat disease, relieve pain, balance mood, enhance performance, increase fertility, and improve overall health and wellness.

My personal belief and experience is that each and every person can heal naturally - our body wants to be healthy, pain free and full of life! Here, the setting is a medical practice located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan; it has a clean and crisp decor with a spa-like atmosphere making you feel comfortable and at ease the moment you walk in. Each patient is given one-on-one attention in a private room to get the best care possible.

Once your care is complete, you will leave feeling relaxed and invigorated while your body continues the process of healing even after your treatment.

We are the only community acupuncture healing model in Pacific Beach. This model allows us to offer this holistic and natural medicine at a 1/3 the price, so you can afford to get better and stay better. Walk-ins are welcome! All of our Acupuncturists are licensed and experienced professionals. We offer chiropractics, massage, and herbal medicine as well. We are open 30 hours a week so you can get your health sourced in a comfortable, calming atmosphere.
