Welcome to North County Acupuncture™ in Oceanside, CA

Searching for an acupuncture clinic in Oceanside or want to learn more about how acupuncture can help you? I’m glad you’re here.

The idea behind acupuncture is simple — it can help improve the flow of blood and energy, or Qi, throughout the body. Removing blockages to Qi, in turn, relieves pain and enhances healing. New research has found that its effectiveness may be due to the fact that it improves the flow of fluid through the connective tissue that lines the inner organs and surrounds the body’s muscles. This can reduce pain and promote healing in other parts of the body. Acupuncture also appears to stimulate the release of opioids, your body’s naturally occurring pain-killing chemicals.

I believe that true and lasting health is achieved when our mind, body and spirit are in balance. This includes being balanced within ourselves as well as in relation to our external environment. As we improve the circulation and flow of blood and Qi through acupuncture, the internal aspects of our being become balanced and healthy. We feel better and function at a higher level.

This in turn improves our relationship with our external environment. Our bodies become more resistant to disease and our ability to handle stress improves. This leads to a greater enjoyment of life and all it has to offer. I invite you to try acupuncture and see how it can change your life.

How Acupuncture Combines with Adjunctive Therapies for Holistic Wellness

Published May 19, 2025

You might not think of combining acupuncture with other holistic wellness practices, but it is a great option to pair with a variety of adjunctive therapies. Let’s look at three different options to see how they might compliment each other and benefit a patient’s overall health and wellness journey. 

Perhaps the easiest way to express this concept is through the story of a fictional patient. Let’s look at the life of “Emma” and use her to illustrate just what such a wellness journey might look like. When Emma first walked into her acupuncturist’s office, she carried more than just physical pain. Years of chronic stress had manifested as migraines, insomnia, and a persistent feeling of being unmoored. Traditional medicine offered her temporary relief, but she longed for something deeper — a way to reconnect with herself and cultivate lasting well-being. That’s when her practitioner introduced her to a holistic approach, weaving together acupuncture with complementary therapies like sound bathing, essential oils, and herbal medicine.

Finding Balance: How Acupuncture Eases the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment

Published May 5, 2025

When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, it can feel like the world has tilted on its axis. The whirlwind of medical appointments, chemotherapy sessions, and the relentless tide of side effects can leave patients drained. Nausea, fatigue, and neuropathy can cloud the difficult days of treatment, making each step forward feel heavier than the last. Many oncologists are becoming wise to how acupuncture can offer patients a glimmer of relief to the side effects of cancer treatments.

Acupuncture, an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote healing. For cancer patients, this practice has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering relief from the taxing side effects of rigorous treatments.
