Acupuncture in Palo Alto

“I’ve had this place bookmarked for a while and wanted to give it a try finally. I chose the sports massage with Steve and well, it was a humbling experience (in a good way ?). I told him my problem spots as well that I’m a very active person, and he went to WORK. He’s definitely on the firmer side, but if you’re looking for a good deep tissue or sports massage, he’s your person. And also a godsend to us athletes.

I already booked my second appointment with him!“

“Dr. Kemnec is an amazing doctor. We saw her because we were looking for help for my 12-year-old. Instead of jumping straight to medication for high cholesterol (which is what we experienced at his pediatrician), she focused on education, lifestyle changes, and really involving my son in the process. In just a few months, we’ve seen a big improvement in his levels.

As a parent, I was worried and looking for answers beyond medication. She gave us the guidance, knowledge, and support we needed to make real, lasting changes. I’m so grateful for her guidance, she’s truly a great doctor. We feel really lucky to have found her!“

“I visited this place yesterday and had a wonderful experience. They welcomed me very warmly and kindly. I had pain in my shoulder and neck, and they really helped treat it. A special thank you to Chelsea for taking extra time to work on my neck and relieve the tightness. I truly appreciate it and will definitely come back again!“

“Alicia is such a gem. I went to see about 10 acupuncturists before finding her and have now been seeing her over a year, through may different health challenges and experiences, and she always helps me find resolution. My sessions with her are profoundly relaxing, I consistently find pain relief for various injuries, and I got pregnant swiftly after years of chronic illness through my care with her. I also really appreciate her added background as a functional medicine practitioner and her expertise in manual therapy. She listens very attentively and I always feel that she deeply cares about helping me feel better. In times when I see her a bit less consistently, she always checks in with me via messaging. I'm so grateful to have found her on my health journey!“

“Mark will change your life. My regular doctor was sending me to an orthopedic surgeon to consider having surgery next month. Referred to Mark by a friend. Mark spent one hour with me a week ago and worked out my SI…. Realized when I laid down my left leg was slightly longer, and when I set up, it was slightly shorter, which meant something was tight. It was throwing everything off. The regular doctor will send you right into surgery or throw a drug at it. Through various stretches and massages… debilitating pain that prevent me from walking normal on my left ankle and forget about leaning over with my lower back - it all went away in about two days after seeing him. Miracle worker. Canceling orthopedic surgeon appt.“

“I am a lawyer at a tech company that manages a lot of stress (close deals worth billions), and I was looking for an accu that can help manage my lifestyle. I have stress and issues sleeping the entire night.

If you come across this place consider yourself truly blessed. I have seen more than a dozen accus throughout my life due to being in different job locations and know when someone is talented. Yaping Chen is so amazing. In one month working with her, my anxiety is barely there (it doesn't surface through the entire day) and I can sleep through the nights with no issue.

Yaping has this unique, unworldly way of working with people. Her heart is completely in her work, and she cares so much about her patients. She intuitively knows where blocks are in your body w/o you having to say much, and uses CranioSacral Therapy as a healing technique (that not many people know). Each accu session has brought so much joy.“

“I really appreciated his calm, direct, and reassuring approach.The kind of practitioner who makes you feel like your case is being thought through, not rushed.
Highly recommended.“
