Marque Acupuncture

I’m a cheerleader and I was suffering from lower back pain. I couldn’t stand, sit or walk. I found Joachim from Unilocal and saw his perfect rating. He was kind enough to take me in that day without an appointment. His office is bright and clean. He greeted me and gave me a consultation to find out my health history and see where else he could help me besides my back pain. I’ve done acupuncture before, and it wasn’t very pleasant, however Joachim managed to make it comfortable and I could immediately feel relief in my lower back and was able to get more range of motion. He also did cupping on me, which was the best part of the visit. I was extremely tight in my shoulders and he was able to help loosen up my muscles. he also went out of his way to check my insurance to ensure I wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for my visits. My lower back no longer hurts and I can’t wait to go back to get cupping done on my back as a routine and maintenance for my body.

Well well well… What more can i say than he is a true healer!!! I was referred to Joachim by my personal trainer after having an injury that flared up quite terribly (i am a hairstylist and dancer and my neck and back always get jumbled!). I literally couldn’t move my neck practically at all, cried almost every night because i couldn’t sleep because of the pain, had little success with my chiro and massage therapist, so i was ready to try ANYthing other than a physician who would just medicate me! I was skeptical about acupuncture, but figured why not, it couldn’t hurt right? so my trainer walked me over (it’s conveniently right by my gym at his Woodland Hills location… He works two locations) and he took me that day. He really spent his time with me each visit, the first session he spent 2 hours with me!!! Every other visit has been around an hour. I am just now leaving my 3^rd session and can say he has fixed me. I am back to working out, dancing, aerial silks, literally in a couple weeks and I couldn’t be more grateful. Being an active person and having pain hold you back is SO frustrating, and thanks to Joachim I feel better both mentally, physically and emotionally! He is skilled and knowledgable, and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. He incorporates essential oils into his work, and cupping (which I just had for the first time this session). I leave feeling like i just slept 8 hours it is that relaxing. Aside from that, my pain is almost 100% gone and now I just have to come in for maintenance every month or so, which I have no problem doing if it makes me feel this amazing. He is extremely reasonably priced (my insurance covers nothing so I pay cash/​credit) and is worth every penny. I have already referred two people to him who are extremely happy with his service. Go to Joachim, you will NOT regret it! Thanks Joachim! I am not a loyal patient!!!

If I could mark 100 stars I would… A pleasant and relaxing experience from the moment I walked in. Joachim is a kind, personable and knowledgeable health care professional. He’s great at explaining the process, what you might experience and why he chooses the areas being treated. Highly recommend his services.

I went in for treatment for the first time with Joachim Marque, who is owner of this establishment. This was the best treatment I have ever received. Not by the way I felt, because I felt so refreshed and rejuvenated after my treatment. But by Joachims very relaxed tone and nature, his cast knowledge in the field, and his relaying as much information as possible without seeming like a college professor. Highly recommend a session ASAP! Thanx

Joachim Marqué is not only an excellent practitioner, he explains how and why acupuncture works, in layman’s terms. You feel better just being in his positive, healing presence.
My excruciating lower back pain was lessened within minutes of my arrival and continues to improve nearly 24 hours later.
Visited his new office, south of the boulevard in Woodland Hills. Would recommend him to anyone.

I can not say enough positive things about Joachim Marque. My neck went out on Wednesday night & I called him at 10:45 on Thursday morning. He told me to come in at noon! He even emailed me the paperwork to fill out prior to my appointment so that I wouldn’t have to go in early.
When I arrived, he came out and greeted me exactly on time. The waiting area was spotless and comfortable… though I didn’t wait for long. He invited me into the treatment room and told me to get comfortable on the table. He proceeded to go through my paperwork patiently and meticulously, leaving no stone unturned.
It was apparent that he actually cared about his patients and that this wasn’t about a «quick fix». After he finished going through my extensive history, he proceeded to begin his exam. And he didn’t just go through the motions, he explained everything he was doing, why he was doing it & what it meant in terms of how my body was working. He even drew diagrams!
Then he began the acupuncture to start to relieve my neck pain. He took his time & had me turn my head every time he put a needle in to see if it was lessening the pain. I should mention that I also have very bad shoulders — probably why my neck went out — and Joachim also treated those, as well. He kept the needles in for 15 minutes with a heat lamp in my feet & I nearly fell asleep, I was so relaxed.
When he came back, he flipped me over & needled me up like a pin cushion, put the heat lamp on my feet & left me for another 15 min. When he came back he had me sit up & move my head from side to side. While the pain was not totally gone, it was bearable! He gave me some stretching exercises & told me to call/​text him in 24 hours to let him know how I was doing. Yes, text him… because the phone he has listed is his CELL!!! That’s how much he cares!
He said if it wasn’t better he would see me in Saturday… otherwise we would make an appointment for Monday. I am so happy I found Joachim on Unilocal!I was there for 2.5 hours… if THAT doesn’t show his commitment to his patients, I don’t know what else would!!!

The first time I have experience pain relief in my neck within the past 4 years. Since 2011 I have had numbness & tingling in my right arm and hands. In addition I also had tight and stiff neck and back causing chronic pain. I’ve had several other forms of medical treatment chiropractor services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage, medication and acupuncture. Nothing seemed to work. One visit at Marque Acupuncture and I experienced pain relief for the first time.
This place met all my standards.
Pain relief
positive words spoken
Clean & calm environment
Knowledgeable staff
affordable
I can’t wait for my next visit I recommend this place to everyone for every aliment.

First time I ever had acupuncture was at this location. It was at least over a year ago when I started and thought I’d share my experiences with those curious about alternative care and looking to get acupuncture treatments. Like seriously, It was very RELAXING and MEDITATING for me. His office is clean, comfortable and had a delicious aroma to it. Mr. Marque is very intuitive, compassionate and genuinely cares for his patients and always made sure I got the most of each visits. He is the type of person that you can feel when your talking to them. (Very positive energy) Kindly/​patiently watched my very outspoken 8 year old at times when I didn’t have a baby sitter so I can get the necessary treatment and feel better. He is also a vegan, never met a vegan before but after meeting him, I was inspired to try and eat less meat for the greater good. I would definitely recommend his services to friends/​family. He is both kind and skilled at his work. I was most pleased with my treatments while it lasted.
I would go again if my insurance allowed me to! =)

My mother was experiencing severe neuropathic pain for which the doctors prescribed pain killers. The medicines weren’t able to alleviate her pain. She began to feel better after her first session with Joachim. Joachim has the most gentle and compassionate disposition. He was born to be a healer. He is a skilled and knowledgeable acupuncturist with a lovely soul.

I was having intolerable lower back pain and scared to death about getting poked with a bunch of needles. As soon as I walked in the door I was cheerfully greeted by the owner, Joachim. We sat in his office and he thoroughly reviewed my medical history and the pain I was suffering. He was very detailed about his approach to relieving my back pain in his office and while treating me. The process was painless and the conversation contributed to that.
The office was immaculate and inviting. Joachim was very personable with a good sense of humor. I encourage anyone reading this to give him a try.

Awesome!!! Joachim Marque takes a very thorough history to find out what your ailments are and how he can treat you. Very knowledgable and explains what he is doing in detail and why. Will definitely be going back for acupuncture treatments.

It’s like magic.
Never been a true believer of acupuncture, but this guy changed my mind. Went to see him twice: once for a sever shoulder pain /​tennis injury, and once for a knee pain /​waters skiing injury. It’s truly amazing how couple of needles magically vanish 70 to 80% of the pain. I was actually back on the court a week later! So happy about my little discovery! The doctor has really great energy, almost like healing hands and you can totally feel it. Cannot recommend him enough.

I have had an on going hip irritation for years from kickboxing and have worked with chiropractors, physical therapist, massage therapist, etc. and In one visit Joachim was able to deminish the discomfort by at least 80%. What is more impressive is the relief has lasted for nearly 2 months now. I look forward to further acupuncture, cupping and soft tissue treatments and finally be rid of the annoyance. Not only is Joachim very educated but he is a very intuitive healer as well.

Mr. Marque is so thorough, meticulous and informative. Im very physically active and often have injuries and tightness. He has helped me with a myriad of issues. I used crutches into his office once, unable to extend my left knee. With one needle in my right foot he was able to create full range of motion in my left knee and I was able to walk out unassisted. It was pretty weird but amazing! Ive also gone to him for anxiety and stress and he’s helped tremendously. I suggest working with Marque Acupuncture to all my clients and friends, for maintenance and/​or whatever ails them.

I’ve gotta say… by far one of the most approachable, personable and informative experiences ever. When I first went to see Joachim Marque
. MTOM
(I call him Dr. Yo) I couldn’t bend over to tie my shoes due to severe lower back pain and stiffness. After just three visits we found the proper diet, stretches and pressure points to regain my range of motion and rid my lower back of the pain. I have already recommended Marque Acupuncture to a few good friends.
I continue to practice these stretching and diet principals and go back for followup treatments for «preventive maintenance». Thank You Marque Acupuncture.
