Acupuncture focuses on correcting these imbalances of energy flow; stimulation through acupuncture unblocks the channels and encourages an even flow of Qi, restoring the body's balance, boosting the immune system, helping with weight loss and relieving pain, stress and other symptoms. Treatments do not require drug or surgery.
In the hands of trained physicians, there are mostly painless and no side effects from acupuncture or its related practices. In fact, safety is one of the advantages of acupuncture. Instead of using invasive techniques, we help you unlock your body's natural ability to heal. Licensed Acupuncturist only uses sterilized, disposable needles by law.

Moved to area last year and tried a few other acupuncturists before finding Dr Lin. I’ve had lung issues and congestion since the fires last summer and after my first treatment a month ago, I could breath deeper and cough less. Just had a fourth treatment and breathing normal again! Traditional acupuncture is what I was looking for and Dr Lin delivered. She also does cupping. I’m happy with results and will continue to see Dr Lin for prevention maintenance.

I have been a happy patient of Dr. Lin's for over 12 years and she has seen me through stressful periods in my life that would have causes illness and missed work. I am glad my immune system is strong so that I can attend to my job as an RN especially during COVID. Her expertise is evident as manifested by my chi giving me a nap during session and renewed energy afterwards. Over the last year I have been the recipient of the most amazing acupressure massages that are strong enough to elicit endorphins (relax and take the pain!) and as a result my posture has improved as well when coupled with yoga

I have been going to Dr. Lin for over 10 years and she is just the best!! The office isn't full of visible thrills but her and her staffs care is above and beyond. Any time I have seen her - for anything from headaches, neck pain, bad digestion, etc - I walk out feeling a better person. She also doesn't charge you an arm and a leg and the supplements and teas she sells typically range from $5-$10 and she takes insurance. Shane her son is also the sweetest - he will work miracles to get me in when I really need it. Everyone I have referred is a client for life.

I had a really bad experience with Dr. LisaLin. She made rude remarks when I expressed to her I was feeling a lot of pain during the acupuncture appointment. She acted very unprofessional and said very rude comments regarding the pain I was feeling, my weight and that she couldn't believe I did not drive. I do not recommend her.

I have been seeing Dr. Lin for a few months now and before I did yoga, worked on my breathing, took long walks, exercised, ate healthy but nothing was speeding along my recovery. And then, a friend suggested acupuncture. I had no clue how that would help. Wouldn't it hurt? Wasn't it expensive? But my friend persisted and recommended someone local in particular. Tired and angry and ready to feel "normal" again, I made an appointment.
Right from the start I had a good feeling about Dr. Lin She took the time to listen to me, what had been going on with my body overall, and check

Lin Acupuncture is seriously a miracle for me! My disk was pinched or slipped and I could not function without immense pain. The front desk staff was unbelievably nice! I walked in like a zombie and walked out feeling like Superman. I've never had such good service. I travel 45 min one way just to come here. Thank you so much!! I I want to come here every day!

Lin Acupuncture is the best. I can call and get an appointment that always works with my schedule. Easy parking at their new San Jose location. I had so much pain in my neck and back and with treatment of acupuncture and cupping it had eased my pain tremendously. Try them today you will not be disappointed!

Dr Lisa Lin has been my Acupuncturist for 15 years, I couldn't say enough great words about
Dr Lin's healing powers and the care she gives. I've had an inner ear issue with ringing and balance issues for many years, I couldn't find a Dr in Santa Cruz, Monterey or San Jose, that helped me like Dr Lin has. I feel grateful to be able to see her on a regular basis. The office is always professional and the whole staff is helpful and friendly .

THE BEST ACUPUNCTURE PLACE IN THE AREA!
Dr. Lisa Lin is so wonderful, I went in because I was recommended by my dentist who goes to her. I have 3 protruding lower discs in my spine and it was to the point every time I walk, it hurts in my left leg and cannot feel my leg at times. I was also limping and felt as if my back was kinda curved.
Her office is located upstairs near the stairways to the right, we went in and she had me stand up and she was touching my back with her fingers and showed my mother that it was indeed curved to the left. She performed acupuncture then did cupping since my
