My name is Matt Anderson and I have been a practicing acupuncturist in Southern California since 1999. Many of the people I treat have never tried acupuncture before their initial visit with me. There are a lot of people interested in acupuncture, but they have fears about needles and the unknown effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I am here to bridge the gap between East and West. I offer consultations to explain exactly how acupuncture works and what it can and cannot do. The most common question is "does acupuncture hurt?" Occasionally, a patient may feel a tiny pinch, but most times they don't even know that the needle has been inserted.

Services
Chinese herbs are prescribed along with acupuncture treatments to bring health and balance to the system. There are thousands of herbs and they are combined precisely in formulas which could have one or two herbs or twenty. Many years of study go into diagnosing the patient and combining the exact herbal formula for their condition.
As a certified YMCA strength trainer since 1996, I have refined a circuit training method which increases strength, flexibility and endurance while also promoting weight loss. This is accomplished in a manner which is safe and easy on the joints and muscles. The circuit workout system is based on using opposite muscle groups.

I have an impinged nerve in my hip which causes my foot to twitch and cramp. Once Matt put the needles in, the twitching and cramping stopped. I was nervous about the needles because I don't like shots, but the needles were thinner than the thinnest hair and it did not hurt at all. It was great relief!
