Lincoln Square Acupuncture
Many of these selected items are effective to your treatment plan. There's no better way to enhance your wellness than with a few supplements in between acupuncture visits! We are so grateful for the many dedicated patients that have come through our doors year after year. Every treatment and product purchased in advance helps sustain our clinic as we continue forward.

And for that we want to THANK YOU for supporting our mom-and-pop shop! We have purchased several new HEPA air filter purifiers that incorporate virus-destroying UV-C lights. We have installed plexiglass at the front desk, foot hooks on doors, a touch-less bathroom light switch and wipeable chair covers.

Acupuncture needles are much thinner than the needles used for injections. If you feel them at all, it will be a sensation similar to pulling a single hair. Needles may be placed in sensitive areas of the hands and feet which some people may find uncomfortable. You may experience warmth, tingling, numbness, distending or a heavy feeling at the needle site.
Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese medicine that dates back over 2000 years. The basic theory of this medicine is that an invisible energy called 'qi' flows through the body via meridians. In a healthy individual, 'qi' flows freely through the meridian network. There are 12 major meridians and eight secondary meridians.
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, David started his career as a bicycle mechanic, massage therapist and product engineer before becoming an acupuncturist. On days off, he's rebuilding his vintage British motorcycle while listening to reggae and Playing for Change. David's father immigrated from Japan and worked in farms on the west coast eventually beating all odds with a successful electric business.
At the southeast intersection of Lawrence and Western Avenues is the archway sign above the entrance of Lincoln Square. The historic one-way street is lined with small independently-owned shops and some of the best international restaurants. We are located just a few doors north of Merz Apothecary and above SmileWorks Dentistry.

David is the most knowledgeable, skilled and caring acupuncturist I have ever had. He listens and then puts together a set of points to suit my needs. He is a genuine and great guy and the whole operation is run with great professionalism. Many thanks!

I've been in treatment there for two months and I feel the best I have felt in my whole life! I feel very centered, which has helped me begin to notice powerfully when situations knock me off balance. This has enabled me to curate my life better, focusing on the activities that serve my wellness, and bringing to an end situations and patterns that do not.

God how I love this place. Wish I lived closer. They ARE the real deal. If you've never tried acupuncture & want to give a whirl, know this place is worth traveling to. They do "community"--or at least they did--so you were in a room with others but don't let that deter you as you will get personal tailored care & others will not be in your business but privately focused, relaxed in their own world & healing. They used to do a sliding scale to make it affordable to all, unsure that's still their business model but very philanthropic in nature & care for all. I can't speak highly enough about my

I've been a long time patient here and have nothing but good things to say about this place. It helped me through one of the most stressful hard times in my life to feel a sense of balance. Unfortunately I moved a little further away so I haven't been back for a while but I highly recommend them

I've been going to Lincoln Square Acupuncture for more than two years now. I currently go once a week. I am so grateful to Dr. Kato and the wonderful staff for providing accessible, affordable treatments to all and for creating such a supportive, safe environment. I was referred here by a friend and continue to refer others who are looking into acupuncture. Thank you so much!

Went to Lincoln Square Acupuncture after hearing good reviews about it. Currently going through so many things in life and I honestly felt at home there. Dr. David was extremely kind and a great listener. He wanted to help me. I appreciate that humans still care about each other like this. I feel relaxed and happier and can’t wait to be back!
