Temecula Acupuncture

I have chronic pain due to back and neck issues. I’ve been to pain management, physical therapy, neurosurgery, orthopedic specialists and not one single professional has been able to help me relieve the debilitating pain.
I was referred to acupuncture by my neurosurgeon. I am very open minded to holistic approach and was so grateful to find that my health insurance covers these visits!
I called to schedule and was set up with Doug. When I arrived I parked on the wrong side of the building, it’s a bit tricky to find so make sure to give yourself plenty of time on your first visit. The office is tucked in the corner of the building, you cannot access through the courtyard.
The waiting room is inviting and filled with lovely art, books on essential oils and information on how acupuncture has progressed historically.
They also offer lymphatic cupping massage!
Doug is truly a healer. He is attentive and professional and listens to your needs.
After just two sessions with Doug, I feel a noticeable increase in energy and decrease in pain.
If you’re anxious about the needles, be aware they are so fine and your practioner makes the experience very relaxing. I fall asleep while he is placing the needles on the pressure points!
I can’t rave enough about how great this experience has been. This place is awesome and Doug is truly a gifted healer.

I’ve had neck and back issues for years and have been here many times and always leave feeling better. I go in with a stiff neck and walk out feeling fine… Not to mention how relaxing it is. I cannot help but fall asleep every time I go. The folks there are great too!

I’ve been seeing Joslyn for 9 weeks now and am so grateful for her time, expertise, and genuine care for my healing path. I understand that I must take my health and well-​bring into my own hands… And I need expert assistance and guidance to support my body, mind, and spirit. Temecula Acupuncture has a relaxed, yet professional, office and very talented therapists and caring practitioners. Acupuncture isn’t painful, but for sensitive types like me, I can feel it working (it’s not completely sensation free — one gets used to the experience of it and it becomes almost relaxing!). Acupuncture simply helps clear energy pathways so the body can come into balance. I’m very grateful that I chose weekly treatments as I’ve seen great improvement in my life very quickly. I feel less stress and fatigue, and inflammatory pain levels and digestive issues have decreased significantly. Highest recommendation.

I had back surgery in 2006 and I have had sciatica constantly for about the last 18 months. I am unable to stand for any length of time and walking causes discomfort in my back and left buttocks. I have tried steroids, massage, physical therapy, anti inflammatories and nothing has worked until now. I had my first appointment with Carrie last Friday and after one treatment at least 90% of the pain is gone! I would recommend acupuncture to anyone suffering from sciatica especially at Temecula acupuncture!

I have been a patient of Temecula Acupuncture for years. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Carrie and Jocelyn are amazing. They are professional, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to make you comfortable. I have serious allergy issues which have improved considerably since I began my treatment at Temecula Acupuncture. I look very forward to my weekly visits and the care I receive.

A friend referred me to Temecula Acupuncture for my chronic back pain. I had tried acupuncture before so I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong! Carrie is so great, she really listens to you and helps you get the most out of your treatment. She has created such a peaceful environment that it’s easy to relax, meditate, and focus on feeling better. Thank you so much to everyone at Temecula Acupuncture for making the experience one I look forward to each week!

Moving up from Sam Diego where I absolutely loved my acupuncturist, I was apprehensive about finding someone just as great up here. I have seen Kara 8 times now and have nothing but absolute praise for her. My migraines and back pain are fewer and far between. My sleep has increased into a depth where I actually feel rested in the morning. Absolutely wonderful customer service with Andreas courtesy calls before your appointment and wonderful upkeep of your file, you feel like they actually know you! Highly recommend to anyone.

I’m amazed how well acupuncture has helped me. My initial visit was to help with my sciatic nerve that bothers me. Just 2 sessions with Jocelyn and I had no pain for over 6 months. I definitely recommend trying them out.

Great service. Nice office and relaxing treatment rooms. Great acupuncture, electro-​acupuncture & cupping from Taylor! I am an acupuncturist and was visiting my family and wanted a treatment for back and shoulder tension/​pain. I am very happy to have found this place & I look forward to getting another treatment the next time I am in town. Thank you so much!

I get really bad migraines about once a month and was told about acupuncture from a friend. I was skeptical at first but after seeing Jocelyn 4x my migraine are gone. Not to mention the other benefits (increased energy, sleeping better, increase metabolism, better digestion). The office is very clean and comfortable and Jocelyn makes you feel right at home. I’d highly recommend Temecula Acupuncture. They do accept insurance.

Jocelyn Shinagawa is outstanding! I went to see her for my lower back pain. She was very knowledgeable and has a warm personality. I love her bedside manner, she makes sure you feel comfortable and is honest and straightforward. I was so relaxed that i fell asleep during my treatment. My pain level immediately prior to my treatment was a 3, but by 4 hrs after my treatment i was at a 1… I will definitely return to Temecula Acupuncture and see Jocelyn…

I recently had an appointment with Dr. JACELYN SHINAGAWA at Temecula Acupunture and she was awesome. I see many of the reviews discuss the care people recieved from Carrie, so I think a mention of how great Jaceyls is necessary. Jacelyn was great from the assessment, to explaining the plan and how it works, and the treatment itself. She had a very gentle technique and made sure I was comfortable. I am excited to continue to see her and see the power behind acupunture through her care. Thanks Jacelyn!

I call Carrie my Acu Goddess :) I’ve been a patient on/​off for the past 5+ years and I just love her!
She helps me with muscle aches/​paints, stress reduction, PMS, cramps, insomnia, etc.
I also love how she offers massage with Camille (my massage goddess ;)
I will never use anyone but Carrie! She is very professional, friendly, knows her stuff and is the biggest sweetheart ever. We love her so much that we bring her home cooked meals :)
I also referred my girlfriend who started using her other acupuncturist (Jocelyn, she works on Saturdays, but Carrie doesn’t) and she said all of her headaches stopped and she is now a fan of acupuncture (she had never tried it before and I kept bugging her to try it since last year… yeah, she should’ve listened to me sooner! lol ;)
If you have any ailment, most likely Carrie will be able to help you!
Call her, you’ll be glad you did! Now, I hope I don’t get filtered (again!) lol ;)

I haven’t had acupuncture since I left SF over a year and a half ago. I checked out a few recommendations but just wasn’t getting the right vibe. Doing a little more research I found Carrie at Temecula Acupuncture. You can’t always tell everything by a website; however I was getting a really good feel about it. I quickly made an appointment and waited anxiously (in a good way)!
From the moment I walked in I knew I found the right place. The other locations I had checked out felt very clinical and sterile; but here it felt warm and inviting. Meeting Carrie herself I felt an immediate connection. She is very personable, welcoming and friendly.
I seek acupuncture for stress relief. My job can be very demanding and taxing. I have been seeing Carrie regularly for over a month now and I can’t tell you what a difference I feel as a result of these sessions. I feel as though I’ve been able to better handle a work-​life balance than I have in quite some time and am better able to put everything into perspective.
I leave our sessions in almost a euphoric state; very mellow, very calm and very centered. It feels as though they take the weight of the world off my shoulders.
I am beyond grateful for having met Carrie and wanted to share with as many people as I can my experiences with the hope that if you are considering acupuncture, for whatever reason, give her a call.

Your search for an acupuncturist just ended! Carrie is the BEST in the business!
I had two miscarriages in the past year and was having a hard time getting pregnant again. I was also experiencing neck and low back pain from working on a laptop all day. After many failed attempts with modern medicine I was ready to give alternative medicine a try — which led me to Carrie.
Having never done acupuncture before and detesting needles I was a little nervous but Carrie put me completely at ease. Carrie is not only very knowledgeable in her field but also extremely personable. She did a very thorough evaluation on my first day, asked all the right questions and those needles… to my surprise — they didn’t hurt at all! In fact I started looking forward to my 50 minute nap every Friday!
12 sessions later — neck pain and low back pain are much better and… drum roll please… I’M PREGNANT!!!
If that isn’t enough testimony I really don’t know what is. What are you waiting for? Call and make an appointment with her today! You can’t go wrong with Carrie… you just can’t.
Her new office is across from HomeGoods in Temecula and she also now has a massage therapist on staff too!

Find an acupuncturist from an iPhone app? Yep, I’ve been so happy finding restaurants from Unilocal that I thought, «what the heck, I’ll take a look!» I want to thank Rick R. for his review of this business. I was drawn to his review with the first sentence. As I continued to read, it was apparent to me that my situation mimicked his for at least 5 paragraphs.
I took the plunge and called for an appointment. I met with Carrie, she read my medical history, asked me lots of questions, took my pulse, looked at my tongue, then gently put lots of needles in my body. I have to admit, it did not hurt. I was in her office for probably an hour and a half total that first visit. By the next week, I was feeling a dramatic reduction in neck and shoulder pain and tightness.
Since then, I have had two more sessions with her. I continue to feel better and better each week. I am amazed at the power of acupuncture in my life, and the results I have achieved in such a short period of time. I have regular massages and chiropractic adjustments, and have tried traditional methods of treatment (pain meds, etc.), but nothing has given me such relief as I have found with acupuncture.
Carrie definitely has great bedside manner; she is warm and friendly and you can’t help but feel comfortable in her hands.
I would recommend Carrie Cimperman wholeheartedly.

I highly recommend Carrie! Shes amazing, very sweet, and super talented! Go see her! You wont regret it!

Carrie was a student of mine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine where she sat in the back and quietly got A’s. When she first started practicing, she worked part time in my clinic and I had the pleasure of being treated by her. Just her presence when she walks into the room makes you feel at ease. Her needling is gentle and effective, and she is completely focused on her patients well being. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

If you have never had acupuncture, Carrie is the perfect practitioner to first experience this amazing powerful medicine. She will listen with the skill of an experienced healer and doctor, and for sure you will have a shift in your energy system and the perception of your problem, and, you’ll probably laugh too! Check her out and tell your friends too. Carrie is probably the one who brought me to the study of this medicine now.

By far the best acupuncture in the valley. I have been a paitient for years wouldnt think about going any where else.
