I have been going to Nenita for a couple years now. She is the most caring, compassionate practitioner I have ever had. Over the last couple years, I have struggled with my Endometriosis symptoms, GI issues, and also sciatic nerve pain. Nenita has always helped with these issues and is generally interested in my health and healing. I see her monthly now at this point and she is just as concerned for my health and wellbeing as when we first met when I was desperate for pain relief. Acupuncture has helped my physical health as well as my mental health. I recommend Aviara Acupuncture to everyone!

I have been seeing Nenita for the past couple of months and I would highly recommend Aviara Acupuncture to my family and friends. The atmosphere is so relaxing and peaceful, and Nenita is so kind, genuine, and really cares about you as an individual. She has been so helpful at addressing my stress induced reflux after moving this past year. She has also addressed my neck tension and has helped me have a health reset and feel all around well again, after a very stressful past couple of years. If you are hesitating to try acupuncture or are looking for a good location in Carlsbad, no need to look anywhere else. I can’t say enough great things about Nenita!

This is a long overdue review. Been a patient for three years. I have been to three other acupuncturists who tend to rush you out for the next patient but not Nenita. I went to see her because I had pain on both elbows I could not raise my arms up. She explained what she will do and how many visits before you can expect improvement. If you want to get to the core you have to allow your body time to heal and adapt. A great bonus is she has a nursing background so she has the medical knowledge as well. I feel like I am literally walking on air after a session because endorphins are triggered. I go for monthly maintenance or when I start feeling off. I truly believe she has helped me with my immunity. If you decide to try acupuncture my advice is stick to it, be patient. It may take several visits but the long term benefits are rewarding. My whole family sees her regularly.

I've been seeing Nenita for about 2 years now. Nenita has treated me for severe cervical pain from a protruding disc, low back pain, and chronic tendonitis. As a physician and someone that has been treated by multiple accupuncturists for my entire life with great results, I have to say that Nenita is excellent. Excellent results and extremely compassionate. As I make my new home here, I feel reassured that I have discovered such a trusted healer.

I have been a patient of Aviara Acupuncture for 5 months.  Nenita is the best acupuncturist and the best healthcare professional I have ever had.  She has a wonderful personality on top of her professional skills and knowledge. For my first visit, I had severe pain around my neck and shoulder caused by weight training. I was not able to move my neck, my hand started to numb, and it did not go away for a month. I then had Nenita's first treatment. The pain was gone right after the first session. It took seven weeks (8 sessions) for the numbness to disappear completely. I recently pulled the same shoulder muscle and had pain again after I carelessly lifted a 10 lbs weight.  I had the pain for a few days, and then I had her treatment. The levels of pain were reduced right after receiving her acupuncture and cupping treatment.  I was completely pain-free four days after the session.  I see her for monthly maintenance. My experience with Nenita's treatment is absolutely positive, and I highly recommend Aviara Acupuncture.

I had the best experience here! I loved Nunita. She was amazing. She spent lots of time with me asking questions and listening. She was very compassionate and explained everything well. I felt so comfortable with her. She is genuine. I will be going back!!

Absolutely the best acupuncture I have ever had. They took the time to question me on my issues and then focused on those areas. They had amazing results. I would HIGHLY recommend Nenita with her knowledge, compassion and experience. Cannot say enough good things about her and the benefits of her knowledge.

Nenita is a wonderful practitioner and I highly recommend her acupuncture services. In the weeks before Christmas, I came to Nenita because I was in a lot of jaw pain and looking for a way to help alleviate it. She recommended a few sessions of acupuncture, and in the course of treatment, my pain went away completely; while it started subsiding immediately, it gradually was completely eliminated - so much so that when I saw her again after the Holiday, she asked about my jaw and I had completely forgotten that it had been so painful (the pain had been gone for weeks at that point, and never returned, so I forgot about it!). Check her out, you won't regret it!

Conditions We Treat

Women’s Health

Many OB/Gyn conditions/problems can be successfully treated with acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). A few examples are Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), menstrual irregularities including painful periods (Dysmenorrhea), heavy periods (Menorrhagia), or even the absence of a period flow (Amenorrhea) in women of reproductive age and who are not on any form of birth control.

Infertility

Researchers have noted in recent years that acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be utilized either solely or in conjunction with Western reproductive assisted techniques. This holds a true potential to increase the chances of conception for many couples, especially those who wish to conceive using natural medicine.

Autoimmune Disorders

Acupuncture’s outcome objective is to decrease the stress response leading to chronic pain and inflammation and resetting the immune system. Implementing Chinese herbal formulations will be an additional benefit in treatment. By combining these TCM modalities, the progression of cellular damage of the tissues and organs is halted which may then have the potential to be reversed or achieve a state of prolonged remission from active disease.

Back Pain/Sciatica

Acupuncture as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is increasingly being used to treat various types of musculoskeletal pain. Whether an acute or chronic pain issue, TCM views it as being caused by a blockage of well oxygenated blood flow to the area (traditionally called “qi and blood stagnation”) which leaves the body tissues undernourished and essentially depleted of nutrients necessary to function and perform.

Neck Pain

Acupuncture has been shown to be a leading intervention in the treatment and prevention of neck pain otherwise known as Cervical spondylosis (CS) and where many patients see a dramatic decrease in pain intensity within their first treatment. Range of motion of the cervical spine is gradually restored as well.

Tennis Elbow

Acupuncture and moxibustion are two main modalities which, when combined together, will effectively heal the tissues and tendons of the elbow, slowing down the inflammatory process and thereby increasing pain relief. It is noteworthy to emphasize that any form of inflammation resulting in pain will progressively become worse if the activity causing it is allowed to continue.

Knee Pain

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles (TCM), pain is experienced when the body’s energy flow within the channels, or meridians, is disrupted or becomes unbalanced, a condition known in TCM as a diagnosis of “Qi and blood stagnation.” The goal of acupuncture (as one modality of TCM) is to restore the flow of this foundational and essential energy, relieve the pain and regain function and integrity of the knee joint.

Migraines

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have had a long history in the treatment of headaches and migraines for thousands of years. It is a treatment method with a great advantage over western medicine in that acupuncture does virtually no harm and does not accompany any adverse side effects. Many patients have found long-term relief through acupuncture that was not found through medication.

Hypertension

Acupuncture therapy works with your body’s natural regulatory mechanisms to achieve proper blood pressure control and can be a clinically effective alternative treatment for patients who seek natural methods for controlling high blood pressure or for those who are not able to tolerate long-term use of antihypertensive medications due to their side effects.
