Deborah Maahs Acupuncture

Two words: Debbie rocks! I was lucky enough to receive acupuncture treatment from Debbie when she had a practice back in Sacramento. She was able to help me through a very trying time after I had been hospitalized for complications with my liver. I have since moved to San Francisco, and I’m very excited that she’s decided to join us here in Baghdad by the Bay.
A great demeanor, a no-​nonsense approach to treatment and a very relaxing atmosphere are just a few of the reasons you should end your search for an acupuncturist with Debbie Maahs. 5 stars from me.

I had major tension in my traps ands shoulders for forever. I went to Debbie and right away it started to get better. She has a gentle touch and she totally makes me feel comfortable. She really listens and tries to understand my issues. She has a bubbly personality, which imediatley put me at ease, considering I was an accupunture virgin. She really got my stuck energy to move again. It was dramatic how much of a difference I felt after the very first treatment. I recommend her highly if you are in pain.

It was a miracle, or at least the closest thing to a miracle I have ever experienced. When Deborah put needles on my hands, my 5 year long chronic lower back pain was gone. I know it sounds impossible but I do get instant and complete relief on my back for half day after treatment. Pain does come back when I sit on an uncomfortable chair for over 2 hours. But the pain is getting less and less since I started receiving treatment from her. I see her once every 2 weeks for now and hope to reduce my visit to once a month and eventually to zero — complete cure!
I tried yoga (Iyengar, Hatha, Vinyasa, Bikram, Anusara, Jivamukti, you name it), Pilates, physical therapy, soft tissue massage, spinal network analysis and even hip hop dance class to relieve my lower back pain and none of them worked for me. I received acupuncture treatments from another practitioner but I did not see any improvement. If you have lower back pain, I strongly recommend to give a try with Deborah. Her treatment worked for me. I hope it works for you.
She recently moved to Flow Studios — a great place to get acupuncture.

I am so glad to have found Maahs Acupuncture Clinic. Having just moved from NYC and leaving two acupuncturists there that I really loved, I wasn’t sure what I would find here. Debbie has exceeded my expectations and made the experience of acupuncture more tangible than I had ever dreamed.
Debbie is extremely knowledgeable and makes the sometimes strange treatment of acupuncture very comfortable and relaxing. She takes great care to know exactly what is going on in your body and life, both by asking you, but also with wonderful tools from Chinese medicine. It seems she has a way to address every issue you are dealing with.
I am getting regular treatments from Debbie for a lifelong structural issue in my neck and chronic headaches. I have found immediate relief from my pain, but also feel less stressed and overall healthier. Each visit, I leave feeling much better than when I walked in!
I would highly recommend Debbie if you looking for an acupuncturist. She has the perfect combination of wisdom and compassion to guide you to a better you!
