If you’re here, chances are you’ve been dealing with pain, tension, stress, or recurring symptoms longer than you should have. Maybe you’ve tried physical therapy, massage, chiropractic care, injections, or medications—and you’re still uncomfortable, still not sleeping well, or still searching for answers. Many of my patients come to me feeling frustrated, exhausted, and unsure who to trust next. My role is to help you slow that cycle down, understand what’s happening in your body, and create a thoughtful acupuncture plan that actually makes sense for you.
At Eastlake Acupuncture of San Diego, my focus is on acupuncture for pain relief, functional improvement, and long-term support—not quick fixes or one-size-fits-all treatments. If you’re searching for the best acupuncture San Diego has to offer, you deserve care that is skilled, individualized, and grounded in real clinical experience.
I specialize in acupuncture for pain and stress-related conditions, with a strong focus on patients who haven’t found lasting relief elsewhere. Common conditions I treat include:
My approach to acupuncture in San Diego is clinical, attentive, and customized—because pain is rarely just one thing, and effective care requires looking at the full picture.
One of the biggest differences between my practice and larger clinics is simple: you work directly with me at every appointment. I am a solo practitioner by choice. That means no rotating providers, no retelling your story, and no being treated like a number.
With nearly two decades of clinical experience, I take pride in offering acupuncture care that is attentive, honest, and consistent. Patients often tell me they appreciate knowing who is treating them, feeling listened to, and having care that evolves as their body changes.
Many people are nervous about starting acupuncture because they don’t know what the process looks like. Here’s what you can expect when you work with me:
1. A thorough intake and conversation
We start by talking—about your pain, your history, what you’ve tried, and what you want to improve. You won’t be rushed or brushed off.
2. A clear, thoughtful treatment plan
Based on your symptoms and goals, I explain how acupuncture may help and what a realistic treatment timeline looks like.
3. Hands-on acupuncture care
Your sessions may include acupuncture, electroacupuncture, infrared heat, manual therapy, or supportive modalities—tailored to your needs.
4. Ongoing care and reassessment
We track progress, adjust treatment as needed, and focus on functional improvement, not just symptom chasing.
This is one of the reasons many patients consider my practice among the best acupuncture clinics in San Diego—they know what’s happening and why.
My clinic is conveniently located in Kearny Mesa and serves patients seeking acupuncture in San Diego, including those from Clairemont, Mission Valley, Mira Mesa, Pacific Beach, and Tierrasanta. Patients regularly travel from across Central San Diego for focused, experienced acupuncture care for pain relief.
If you’re reading this because you’re searching for the best acupuncture in San Diego, I want you to know you’re not alone—and you’re not asking for too much. Most of the people who find their way to my practice do so after living with pain, tension, or stress far longer than they should have, often after trying everything else. At Eastlake Acupuncture of San Diego, I bring nearly two decades of clinical experience helping patients with chronic pain, migraines, neck and back issues, and complex conditions finally feel some real relief. Many patients tell me they were simply looking for the best San Diego acupuncture care and instead found something more personal: a place where they felt listened to, respected, and genuinely cared for. My approach to San Diego acupuncture is thoughtful, honest, and individualized—because no two bodies are the same, and you deserve care that reflects that. If you’re ready to work with someone who will take the time to understand what you’re going through and treat you with skill and compassion, I would be honored to care for you.
With Care,
Nadia
