Acupuncture

Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within the coherent system of healing known as Traditional Oriental Medicine (TCM). The intention of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain through the balancing of the body’s vital energy flow known as “Qi.” Your acupuncture practitioner assesses the flow and distribution of Qi within its pathways or “meridians” much like how a western medical doctor monitors the circulation of blood within blood vessels.

How We Can Help

Bodysculpting

EMSCULPT NEO is the first and only non-invasive body shaping procedure that provides simultaneous fat elimination and muscle building in a combined 30-minute session. The EMSCULPT NEO procedure is currently FDA-cleared to treat your abdominals, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs. A great non-surgical alternative to the Brazilian butt lift.

How We Can Help

Incontinence

Pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the bottom of the pelvis. Strong pelvic floor muscles gives you control over your bladder. This unique technology revolutionizes the women’s intimate health and wellness category by providing those suffering from incontinence with a completely non-invasive option. 

How We Can Help

Pain & Inflammation

In our quest for relief from pain and inflammation, Aviara Acupuncture & Integrative Health stands as a beacon of hope, offering natural, holistic solutions. Our approach, deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, provides a natural alternative to conventional methods, addressing not only pain but also the underlying inflammation without the need for injections, invasive procedures, or pharmaceuticals.

How We Can Help

Fertility

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.

How We Can Help

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.

How We Can Help

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.

How We Can Help

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.

How We Can Help

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.

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.

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.

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!
