Oriental medicine is a holistic medical system which is effective in treating a wide variety of medical conditions. Natural medicine includes functional medicine and nutrition for treatment of conditions related to aging, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Laurie works directly with patients to promote healing, reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar, and manage pain and stress.
Laurie received her degree in Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture from Santa Barbara's California Acupuncture College in 1985. She is also a certified teacher of Qigong, a FirstLine Therapy Healthcare provider, and certified in nutrition and Micro current therapy. Laurie is dedicated to helping her patients achieve pain free movement and experience mental and emotional ease.
There are particular folks who practice their medical arts in our communities whom tend to be the rather hidden healers. They are the ones who fly under the wire in terms of self-promotion and self-aggrandizement; they tend to be humble, while quietly doing their good works. Laurie was able to inspire me to get back to exercising again and recommended a great place that is a good fit for me.
What is Vibrational Medicine? Vibration refers to oscillation, or back and forth movement - like a plucked guitar string. Each vibration has a frequency, or rate at which it oscillates. One of the primary ways we experience vibration is through sound and music - each tone is a different frequency. Vibrational Medicine is the use of frequencies of, color light or frequency-specific microcurrent for healing purposes.
Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being.

I went to see Laurie for exhaustion. I had just finished moving to Ojai and had clobbered myself in the middle of my forehead on the top of my car door frame putting one of my cats inside his crate. I had a shiner the likes of famous movies. Laurie was attentive, compassionate, thorough, and kind. She took additional time with me without charging me. She was very concerned about the bump on my head and treated me to several different therapies. I felt cared for. There are many acupuncturists in Ojai, but only one Laurie Edgcomb! She is the one I go to.

Last week I got a crick in my neck out of nowhere. Ive had some success with Accupuncture in the past but being a new resident to
Ojai wasn't sure who to call. Laurie was listed first on Yelp so I called her. In just two treatments I went from being unable to surf or really do anything to being able to surf 6 days in a row. She is the best and doesn't charge enough for her services. She called to check in on me and the whole experience was lovely. I'd give her 10 stars if I could !

I have Plantar fasciitis for over a year now. It has gotten better but though I would go try a acupuncturist, although I didn't think it would help. I heard about Laurie and though what the heck.
Well it did help me.
When I though it was 90% gone it came back again with a-vengeance. Called Laurie right away. I have had 3 treatments and it is livable again. Walked 6 miles today. Still have it but livable.
She is very knowable and a caring person.
Highly recommend her

Laurie is a great acupuncturist and her worked helped greatly with healing my chronic tendonitis on my Achilles. She is certified for micro-current technology as well, which helped with healing scar tissue. You should be prepared to know that these treatments should be considered in a series. It is not a one and done although I was able to notice improvement in just a couple of sessions. To fully realize the benefits, I found it best for my condition to commit to 8-10 treatments.

I came to Laurie with the intention to do something about my anxiety. She worked on me and my body definitely responded. She has been practicing acupuncture for decades and it definitely shows! Her office is very dialed in and easy to relax in...she even has a heater for your feet! I am now on a monthly acupuncture routine and feel so grateful to have found it. I highly recommend Laurie to anyone who has ever been curious about acupuncture or natural healing.

I have had a chronic stomach problem for several decades. No amount of diet therapy or herbal medicine was able to ease the nauseous sensation in my upper stomach, which was particularly sensitive to touch. After the first acupuncture session with Laurie, the area felt immensely improved. There was a soothing, warm feeling where it once felt uncomfortable and tight. Two more sessions with Laurie and the disease was gone. My abdomen now feels comfortable and healthy. To have gotten such immediate relief for a condition that has plagued me since childhood was absolutely remarkable. Thank you

I've seen Laurie for several pain issues, and she's absolutely amazing. Keep in mind that most severe pain issues require a series, it's a process, but she is absolutely dedicated to finding a solution, and I've been able to forego many a cortisone shot and other ugly methods and am completely out of pain. She's fantastic.
