Best Acupuncturist Costa Mesa Near Me

4worldlovers: “Health is an announcement of agreement between your body, mind and spirit. Honor your body, keep it in good shape. When you are not healthy, look to see which parts of you disagree. Your body will demonstrate the truth to you. Notice what it is showing you, listen to what it is saying.”

This 3,000-year-old healing technique is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Tiny, sterile needles calm the nervous system, increase circulation, strengthen the immune system, and restore homeostasis so that the body returns to optimal health and functions the way it was intended to. I also use magnetized, gold-plated neodymium discs to transmit energy in specific directional means through corresponding points on the hands that correlate with specific acupuncture points on the body.

Remove toxins and stagnation, stimulate the flow of blood and energy, and break up obstructions through this ancient practice using glass cups and fire. Cupping is often used in conjunction with acupuncture.

“Moxa,” consists in the burning of dried Chinese mugwort on acupoints. Moxa can also be a cigar-shaped tube, lit, and held over an acupuncture point, or rolled into a ball and stuck onto the back end of an inserted needle for warming effect and to increase circulation to quicken the healing process.

A form of mechanical dermabrasion using a hand-held tool to scrape affected areas. It is frequently used to treat seasonal external pathogens, release muscle tension, tightness, and constriction.

A massage technique with movement (pushing and grasping) to affected areas of the body to help heal injuries by treating inflammation, tension, muscle pain, or other ailments.

Chinese herbs have a gentle way of getting to the root of your problem and supplementing your body while also healing it. Herbs can help a wide range of symptoms and diseases including infertility, immunity, stress, the common cold, lower back pain, whole body pain, high blood pressure, menopausal symptoms, painful menstruation, insomnia, etc.

I cannot say enough about Andrea and her practice. She originally helped me with some general relaxation work and also did an incredible job working with my wife as well. I just visited again recently and the treatment was fantastic. Another thing that sets her apart is the amount of time she spends discussing the big picture and not just an immediate symptom or issue. Also, if you have wanted to try acupuncture and are needle phobic, Andrea will work with you to make it a good experience.

Andrea is a HEALER in every sense of the word! From TMJ disfunction, chronic headaches, digestion issues, to an ankle sprain, she has worked MAGIC to make all my symptoms go away. I leave every session feeling relaxed, renewed, and ready to perform at my best. You can always count on Modus Acupuncture to bring your body back to balance.

Andrea is so wonderful with her acupuncture technique! She uses her strong intuition and deep knowing within to guide her where the needles need to go. I feel so safe in her sessions which has always been very important to me. We use the word "taps" since I hate needles and it helps me so much. I have never felt any pain. I love it. This is an amazing healing modality. I highly recommend it!

My experience with Modus Acupuncture could not have been better. I loved the gentle kind approach of my therapist Andrea. I immediately felt like she truly cared about me and my welfare during the initial evaluation. She explained what she was recommending as far as treatment and gave me pro's and cons of different lengths of care and treatment options. I felt like the decision was completely up to me and did not feel pressured at all. I also felt like she explained very well what was going on so I understood how to make a good decision. My case was complicated but she was able to help me in a way that exceeded my expectations.

4worldlovers: “Acupuncture allows the body to do what it can do on its own by removing blockages and tonifying deficiencies. Western medicine makes the body do what it can't do on its own.”

Tara works miracles! I first started treatment from Ms. Greenberg when I was suffering from miserable pain in my heel from plantar fasciitis. Through weekly acupuncture and herbal supplements, my pain levels drastically reduced. My daily strenuous workouts would leave me with chronic pain and muscle tightness. The weekly sessions with Tara reduced my pain/tightness and allowed me to recover faster without medication or pain killers. I urge everyone to try acupuncture with Ms. Greenberg if they are struggling with any aches/pains!

4worldlovers: Not getting the relief or answers you need from standard treatments?

4worldlovers: You have made your decision to try Traditional Chinese Medicine, done your research and vetted us against hundreds of other practitioners; you did your homework! Now, it’s our turn to roll up our sleeves and do the work. Whether you have acute pain or a chronic condition, we want to you to make a difference in your health from day ONE. We will use our expertise and knowledge to help you feel and get better because we are partners in this journey; our goals are the same—to help you feel good again.

For most patients, this is the first appointment. We spend an extra 15 minutes going over your complaint and medical history so we can understand you. We can’t treat you well without knowing you. So we ask you to be detailed when completing the Health Questionnaire. If you have questions, don’t be shy!

After your first appointment, we phase into the active treatment stage. We may prescribe treatment once per week, twice per week or thrice per week for two weeks. The treatment is completely customized to the patient. So even when two patients have the same condition, this phase can be planned differently. After two weeks, we re-evaluate your condition and reassess your progress.


Even after your condition is completely ‘cured,’ we recommend a monthly or bi-monthly upkeep. That way we can catch new symptoms in its infancy and help you continue to feel great with your regained health.

“I have nothing but positive things to say. After a year of essentially no movement on a small tendon tear, I turned to acupuncture before spending a huge chunk of change on other western treatments. This was the best decision I could have made, and I have reaped many more benefits than just the improvement of the condition I came with. I was definitely hesitant, but I would have to say I am all for acupuncture now and have been going weekly! Oh, and the cupping is unlike any cupping I have ever had before and it was AMAZING!”

“I was referred by my orthopedic doctor after a bad car accident. I was skeptical at first about going to an acupuncture specialist due to my past experiences (I didn’t see lasting improvements), but I decided to try it again to reduce the terrible neck pain. Coming here changed my mind about acupuncture. Susan’s treatments and the results of the treatments were unlike any other acupuncture I experienced… I can’t emphasize enough; every single time after the treatment, my body increases mobility and, of course, has less pain. I feel light and my energy level increases.

To anyone who is new to acupuncture or needs a new acupuncturist, I absolutely, highly recommend going to see Susan. She is the best I know in this town!”
