Second Spring Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine

I went to Second Spring after my lower back injury as I was in so much pain. I’ve never tried acupuncture before and was scared of needles but it was relaxing and Victoria was great. She took the time to listen my needs before starting the treatment so she customized the treatment to relieve my symptoms. Acupuncture helped me feel so much better and I’m now one of Victoria’s regular patients.
I also got acupressure massage from Lisa and I felt very relaxed after the massage.
The treatment room was comfortable and the background music was peaceful. From the moment you walk in, you can instantly feel an energy shift of calm, relaxing and healing ambiance.

I initially was a skeptic for acupuncture. My shoulder pain was killing me and I thought I would give it a shot.
I’ve been going to Victoria for shoulder pain for several months now. The acupuncture techniques she uses shortened the healing process. My shoulder felt much better after every session!
The environment is very relaxing and welcoming. Victoria continually learns new techniques to incorporate in her practice. She is very sincere in helping you get better. Try it. You won’t be disappointed! :)

I started acupuncture with Victoria about 2 years ago, in hopes to get some relief from repetitive stress pain in my arms, neck, shoulders and back. Since that time, acupuncture, cupping, and acupressure sessions with Victoria have helped immensely with my chronic back and neck discomfort, as well as managing pain and improving recovery from more acute injuries like my broken ankle and muscle strains from rock climbing. Moreover, I always leave Second Spring relaxed, rejuvenated, and feeling that my overall state of well being has improved.
Victoria is always positive, thoughtful, professional and skilled — and truly a wonderfully sweet and caring individual. I’ve recommended Victoria to a few friends — who were pregnant, recovering from a back injury, had a strained neck… and all have nothing but rave reviews of Victoria. Needless to say, I’d highly recommend Victoria.

10 days before my first kickboxing fight — I sprained my ankle. I was scrambling to figure out anyway I could to make my ankle heal faster — so I decided to give acupuncture a try.
Victoria was amazing. I am a 100% believer in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine — which is tough coming from a Scientist. She was very sincere in her concern for my injury and her follow up with me was excellent. She was very thorough and exhausted every possible avenue — including kinesiotaping — to get my ankle healthy and functioning for my first fight.
Long story short — my ankle was 100% 10 days later on fight night — I won my fight thanks to the magic of acupuncture and thoughtful care provided to me by Victoria. I am also very grateful for her to introduce me to kinesiotaping — that is a game changer in itself!
I recommend Victoria and a firm believer in the art of acupuncture because of her! Go see her!

Victoria is the best doctor I have seen about my bulging disc. I have been suffering from sciatic pain for over 3 years with no help from conventional medicine. I happened to visit Second Spring recently.
Victoria healed me 75% in the very first visit, and has helped maintain my pain levels very low. I couldn’t sit, stand, drive or walk for long. Now I feel I can dance!
She is gentle, sensitive and pays attention to your feedback.
She helped manage my fears and pain both very well. I couldn’t feel more confident trying something as different as acupuncture without her because she knows what she is doing and puts patients at ease. I will keep going back to her if ever I have other ailments.
Would highly recommend her to anyone who is in pain. If you are in pain and haven’t paid Second Spring a visit, you may be missing a lot.

I am so happy that I found Victoria — she always goes the extra distance to help her patients, providing a soothing and restorative session that goes beyond other acupuncturists She is so sweet and kind and really takes an interest in her patients.
I had begun experiencing hot flashes which were disrupting not only my workday but also hindering my ability to sleep. Victoria prescribed herbs that amazingly have completely eradicated the hot flashes — no more waves of heat drenching me in sweat and making sleep impossible. I encourage any woman who is suffering from these to make an appointment without delay — you will not regret it! I was told it was due to a gluten allergy and had almost given up hope. Now, I don’t even think about them any more and this is thanks to a most amazing practitioner– Victoria!

Ms. Risovanny has done more for my back pain than all of the million dollar Neurosurgeons at UCSD. I found relief after 5 years of unrelenting pain.
She really cares for her patients and is always checking to make sure everything is fine with you when you are getting treatment.
I get more relief here than all of the Opiates prescribed by the medical profession.
She WILL improve your well being.
Allow yourself some extra time in that her suite is in «Lusk Business Park ll» and property management has poor directory signage.
I rarely allow myself this level of enthusiasm but Victoria Risovanny has earned it.

I’ve never tried acupuncture and quite frankly it was something that scared me but I was desperate. I did something to my neck which caused it to completely seize up (no clue what I did) I have a half marathon in 4 days and after all the training I didn’t want to miss it. I arrived barely able to turn my neck from side to side. Victoria explained the process and not only did acupuncture but also a deep tissue massage and cupping. Once the treatment was over I was able to move my neck in both directions and the pain was mostly gone. I was very impressed by her professionalism and her real interest in listening to what I needed. She even followed up 24 hours later to see if my neck was still doing great. She also did not try and sell me future treatments like many of these places do. For anyone leary about trying it, I would highly recommend Victoria’s pratice

I’ve been here several times already for treatment. I was treated by Victoria. She is such a nice person. She was very professional and knowledgable of this type of treatment. Every questions I had she took her time to answer them. I’ve never done acupuncture before due to my fear of needles and my condition that causes me so much pain already. Victoria was gentle and she made sure I was very relaxed and the needles didn’t hurt. I had wonderful experiences with all my several treatments here. I highly recommend this place. Trust me, I drove all the way from Far East County to come to this place. It’s worth it!

Got stress? The Second Spring Acupuncture has the solution for you — «Old medicine for modern people» and Victoria Risovanny is your destination. I’m a very skeptical person and tried so many things to quit smoking in almost 40 years but without any success. After a couple of sessions with Victoria I STOPPED SMOKING! Amazing!
Victoria has much success with using acupuncture to get patients to stop smoking. Sometimes this happens with only a couple acupuncture treatments like it happened with me. And it is working! I’m a Nonsmoker now!
But Victoria has more than a great smile, painless technique, nice, clean and relaxing atmosphere in the office, etc. Victoria has years of experience, studies and treated me beyond my highest expectations, consulted me and members of my family about the different issues with so much knowledge which is absolutely impressive.
I highly recommend Victoria Risovanny for her professional expertise, kindness, supportive treatment of her patients.
Victoria Risovanny is exceptional in every way!

I always look forward to my acupuncture treatments by Victoria. She is very kind, gentle, and attentive. Her professionalism and beautiful office space make the entire experience very relaxing. Victoria is knowledgeable and provides insightful recommendations, including herbal medicine to address my concerns.

Im deadly scared of needles and have never wanted to try acupuncture due to the reason! Victoria convinced me that it wont hurt and i wont feel any pain! I have to admit she was right! It was pain free, actually it felt kinda good!
After giving birth some of my hormones have been crazy as my husband would say, haha! Im not a fan of medicine, and did not want to go to a regular doctor. I decided to try acupuncture and met my miracle worker Victoria! She has been so helpful in my life with all my issues. I love getting acupuncture for my diet as well, and and just treating all my organs in general!
My favorite is the cupping! WOW!!! WOW!!! I had very bad back issues from sitting at my computer desk, and also carrying my kids around. Victoria offered cupping and Im officially addicted!!! The results are amazing, I would say I felt it right away! I also go to Lisa who is the massage therapist, and she does some miracle work as well!
I would definitely recommend Second Spring Acupuncture to everyone! The service is amazing, they treat you like family! The office is very clean, very nice, and warm!

I am so thankful that I went to Second Spring Acupuncture. I had never had acupuncture before and after just one treatment, I feel much better. Victoria is fantastic, combining acupuncture, cupping and massage and helped me feel better than I had for a long time. I have to say my shoulders aren’t as tense and after every treatment I feel relaxed and sleep like a baby. I’m definitely looking forward to another treatment. If you would like to feel better, this is where you begin…

Great place. If you have back pain — this is a good place to get some relief. My regular doctor only offers pills and they have side effects. Acupuncture is doing more than western medicine at this point.
The place is super clean, has a modern look and is in low traffic area with plenty of parking. Best of all — they take insurance, so it doesn’t come out of m pocket.
Thanks Victoria!

Health problems? go, see Victoria Risovanny with Second Spring Acupuncture.
She helped me with my migraines and back pain. I’m impressed with her knowledge and professionalism.
The new office is located conveniently and it is very lovely.

I was looking for a solution for my teenage daughter, who was suffering from side effects from yasmin, prescribed by doctors: frequent migraines; very painful, and heavy periods; lack of energy; severe fatigue, and severe mood swings (just to name a few)… My daughter had to stop taking pills after I found in internet hundreds of complains of other women, who described similar problems induced by yasmin. Things became much better after yasmin was thrown away, but now we had to deal with new issues: headaches (not migraines though!), irregular periods, and severe water retention. Body was clearly trying to recover from the damage done by yasmin.
«Second Spring Acupuncture» online consultation gave us very useful and clear recommendations on how to change my daughter’s diet and life style;
suggested which supplements to take with very clear explanations on dosage and on why it is recommended;
Victoria followed our case (supporting and advising) until the issues got resolved.
We are so grateful to «Second Spring Acupuncture» for her help and recommendations!!!
