Acupuncture Center of La Jolla

Specialties

People often ask how could acupuncture possibly work? How can the placement of very fine pieces of wire (conveniently but erroneously called needles) into places on the body that are often seemingly unrelated to the condition that is being treated — work? How can pain be eliminated? How can we breathe better? The answers as to how it works are rich in the history and art of Chinese Medicine.

History

Established in 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.
