Dr. Geno is awesome! I had been experiencing intense pain in my quads and inner thigh muscles for months. They were super tight!! The pain got worse during long walks. I couldn't make sense of it. Dr. Geno relieved my pain in a single session of dry needling and muscle scraping. Dr. Geno is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and clearly loves his work! I'm so grateful and would recommend him to anyone. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience so far with Dr Geno (after only 2 sessions). I was beside myself with burning radiating pain in my hip that had started with general low back discomfort a couple of weeks before. After he placed the needles in my hip area and left me with the heat lamp on them, I felt like I relaxed and left the planet for 20 minutes. He was very kind, warm, and informative; and I liked and trusted him immediately. But best of all...I felt immediate NOTABLE relief that lasted. My result was MUCH better than I had even hoped for. I know I found the right healer for me when I found him. read more

Expert diagnosis and treatment with genuine care Gino combines his state-of-the-art treatment with education about activities (e.g. grounding) and exercises you can do to help heal your body. I signed up for the 20-session package. Simply the best read more

Geno is absolutely amazing!! I have tried pretty much everything for my back pain, and Geno is one of the most welcoming, knowledgeable, and effective professionals I've ever worked with. By the time I found him my back was in knots and my pain was at an 8 or 9 out of 10. I got so much relief after going to Acujin for a massage with cupping and acupuncture. I can't recommend Geno highly enough! read more

Geno is an excellent practitioner, the best I have found in SD county so far. I'm very picky. Most massages I get are mediocre. I like to feel actual relief, not just have a relaxing spa session. Geno will find all the tight areas and work to release them. My calves have been chronically tight for over a year. He used rolling and myofascial release on them and they feel much better now. I live pretty far away or I would come more often. read more

Dr. Geno is phenomenal. He released what felt like chronic pain/stiffness/spasms from and 7 year old knee injury that severely affected my hip. After 1 session I was able to hike over 16 miles with little to no pain. After 3 sessions my mobility was at 80% (I haven't felt that in YEARS!) and have barely any pain in my hip/glute/knee. I will continue to see Dr. Geno as he is thorough, knowledgeable, makes me feel very comfortable, and of course is helping me heal through acupuncture and cupping. I highly recommend this establishment and Dr. Geno. Thank you! read more

I'd give Geno 10 stars if that was an option. He is thorough, methodical, and thoughtful in his work, and you can tell he really cares about his patients. Working with Geno for just a few weeks helped heal a chronic and stubborn sports injury that I've been suffering from for years. Geno is the absolute best! read more

I have been coming here for several weeks to have Geno work on my shoulder impingement that I've had for a year and piriformis pain that I have had for four years. He is excellent at dry needling and myofacial work! In just a few sessions I have had some improvement. Gelo is clearly very skilled. This is both his passion and his job. I'm grateful to have an end to my pain in sight. read more

I was in the ER for sciatica-couldn't walk, couldn't move without pain and I was sent home with several prescriptions to address the pain. After two days and not much improvement, I made a same-day appointment at Acujin for acupuncture. My pain was significantly decreased after the first session and the following day I was much more manageable/comfortable! Walking is still a challenge but the pain relief has been incredible! If you're experiencing pain like I was do not hesitate. Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I'm a bodybuilder and I have constant issues everywhere that need deep work. I trust no one else but Geno! He's an expert at what he does. I've wasted thousands of dollars on massages that never really help. I always leave Acujin better than I came in and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Geno is also very personable and I enjoy talking to him. Can't go wrong with Acujin! read more

I really appreciate Geno and the work he puts in! I was in a car accident back in 2016 and have been to numerous physical therapists, had many massages and chiropractic adjustments all over san diego, cupping, and even acupuncture as well. But it wasn't until i started coming to Acujin and working with Geno, that i really seen true healing and results Its been a little over two years now and i have so much mobility, my posture is better, and he spends time explaining/working with me on how i can better manage my chronic neck/upper back pain at home. I was nervous at first to try cupping and receive needle work based off of my experiences at other places. But Geno explained how connected the human anatomy is and talked me through the process as he placed each needle or cup. Now i have zero anxiety going in and leave extremely relaxed. At first i needed to see him multiple times a month but now my pain and pinched nerves are much more manageable, so its about every other month. Or before i take big trip to set me up for a pain free time! The cupping helps out tremendously for the muscle aches and flair ups. The needle work does an amazing job at releasing the tension in my neck and back/shoulder area. I can go on and on about Geno but if you are experiencing any type of pain or discomfort, you can trust that you are in great hands here at Acujin! Dont be afraid to speak up and ask questions, Geno is there to help you actually heal and genuinely wants to see you pain free! =D read more

When I was living in San Diego I was always looking for someone near the beach who I could see for really good Acupuncture treatment. I had been to quite a few in the city and heard many good things about Acujin. I did not realize how many styles of treatment there are, but really appreciated the kindness and professionalism of Dr. Geno. He was very caring and asked engaging questions that made me feel safe and that he meant business. I remember feeling that the needles were barely there, but I was totally relaxed and almost snoring by the time the treatment was done. I highly recommend Acujin and will definitely be back the next time that I am in San Diego. read more

Geno LITERALLY saved my life, SHOULDER Destroyed I'm not exaggerating, I had a torn rotator cuff, a messed up chest muscle, as well as the back of my shoulder and my AC joint was separated. I couldn't do daily activities (shave, hold up a phone, raise my arm AT ALL without pain) The pain was INTOLERABLE. With my friends recommendation I saw Geno and After my first dry needling session with him i very clearly described my symptoms and he spend extra time to care for EVERY local point that was injured on my shoulder as well as my other shoulder because it was bi-lateral. After the first session my arm was mush which was hilarious. After 2 days of rest i could move my arm slowly without as much pain. after 3 more sessions my recovery was unbelievably happening before my eyes. I am in my early 20s and surgery was imminent. I went from not being able to raise my hand past my waist to being able to do push ups and wrestle people within a year. My injury was serious make no mistake. I did not take any medications/injections. Only heat/occasional ice, nutrition, consistent rehab, and good rest. I would put my life on the fact that Geno and his team can help you with any injury/illness/symptoms you may be experiencing as well. read more

This has become my go-to acupuncture and therapeutic massage spot. I've been going mainly for my TMJ and love the spot treatments. Geno is super knowledgeable and friendly. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Incredibly kind and helpful treatment. Very attentive and attuned to the body. Would highly recommend.

My right thigh is in a lot of pain because I was hit by a car several years. I went thru the complete Scripps Health system: PCP review, "Here... try these lotions", to the Pain Management Group and on to the Neurology Group. That process took about 4 years and I was still in lots of pain. Now they want me to drive to UCLA in Westwood to meet with a very specialized Neurosurgeon. So I asked my neighbor, who is a Navy SEAL how he deals with physical pain. He said 'acupuncture.' I said 'acupuncture'... you mean that Asian Pin Snake Oil System Treatment. My neighbor said just go see Dr Geno. My wife goes to him. So I did. Yesterday was my first session with Dr Geno. I slept great last nite. Didn't even need a pain pill. In fact I slept again in the afternoon. Still no pain pills. I can't figure out how acupuncture works but I'm sure I'll be back for a few more sessions. Being sliced up by a Neurosurgeon doesn't sound like fun. read more

Dr. Geno is an extraordinary practitioner. I had tried everything for my chronic hip pain over a three year period--chiropractic, PT, cortisone shots---you name it. After 2 treatments with Geno my pain was resolved for almost a year, so now I'm returning to him for a couple more sessions. He is gifted at what he does and continues to improve his expertise.He is kind and personable and really listens to his patients. I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Geno is an awesome acupuncturist. I could barely move my neck for several months and after a couple of sessions I'm feeling amazing! The holistic approach that he takes to relax muscles has continued to improve my condition, versus the bandaid I have gotten from other doctors. His technique not only resolves the issues, but he can identify and resolve other issues I didn't even know I had. He is super friendly and the clinic is so relaxing you can feel the stress relief as you walk in. You won't find a better place than Acujin Acupunture. I'm looking forward to maintaining my neck and back health with him. Thanks again for all the TLC over the past several years. You are the best ! read more

If you have been suffering from chronic pain like myself and have tried everything, don't give up.. please try Acujin Accupuncture they are fantastic and I haven't felt this type of relief in over 3 years.. thank you!! read more

Geno is amazing! He continues to learn new cutting edge techniques and really knows Orthopedics and Microneedling. I have seen him pain and now see him once a month for Microneedling for facial rejuvenation. His style is to the point and effective. I am so happy to have found him. I don't have to look any more. read more

Wow! I have need in pain for over a year and I figured there was nothing I could do. I tried acupuncture as a last resort and within one week my pain significantly decreased... not just the pain decreasing but my injury actually healing. It changed my life and I keep getting better each week I go. Consistency is key and Dr. Geno is fabulous!!!!!!! Highly recommended! read more

Walked in to inquire and the front desk person was really sarcastic, rude and bad attitude! Is this really a holistic company?? Btw they don't have massages as stated on their sign. read more

Geno is amazing. I went to him because I had terrible neck and back pain. When I left his studio, I felt significantly better!!! Geno is friendly and genuinely cares about you and your pain. He makes you feel comfortable. It was my first time trying acupuncture and he did a fabulous job walking me through every single thing he did to me. I didn't feel rushed which is great too. Geno also did some gua sha after the acupuncture and that felt great too. Thank you Geno for helping me :) read more

Life changing. I've been struggling with severe chronic neck pain for several years and pinched nerve issues down my arm. I got X-rays, massages, chiro, theragun, and even a touridol shot. Recently got dry needling for the first time from Geno and was instantaneously pain free. After dealing with pain for years I am still in shock at how effective acupuncture is and can't speak highly enough about Geno as well!! read more

Absolutely the best acupunture treatment I have ever had! Geno made himself available to me immediately after I reached out with my severe neck pain. I have been doing acupuncture over 8 yrs and glad I finally found a fantastic professional acupuncturist! His technique was spot on and I had instant relief. Definitely recommend!! Thank you again read more

The best way to describe Dr. Geno's work is like getting a 2 hour deep tissue massage in 20 minutes. His technique is unlike any other acupuncturist I know. He knows how to reset muscles that have been holding tension for years! He is an acupuncture master in musculoskeletal issues. Go to him if you have chronic pain that you are trying to release. read more

This is the place I go for acupuncture. I always had stiff shoulders, their acupuncture + deep massage made me feel like a different person. My neck/shoulder was the most relaxed I ever been in years. Pricing is fair, roughly $100 depending on the service. read more

So, Dr. Geno has been saving the day for me from my chronic back pain for ages now and I'm so excited because he's going to introduce my brother to acupuncture properly. My brother has a more physically demanding job and has tried acupuncture in Alabama but found that he wasn't able to communicate well in his past experiences. Geno stays completely aware of his patients and needs throughout his treatments and talks with us explaining what he's doing and why. It's just a refreshing humble care approach from someone who is so well trained and qualified. read more

Dr. Geno is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He went above and beyond my expectations to figure out the best treatment to help me recover. I have had 4 treatments so far and I am already getting more mobility in my neck and arm. I drive all the way from Temecula because Geno is the best, he takes his time and treats all problems. read more

If you need any acupuncture or cupping or anything related to that look no further and come to Acujin... Geno is professional and does a great job... I will always go here now and highly recommend... thanks again! read more

Dr. Geno is amazing! He is professional, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the process to me the first time I had dry needling done. He calmed my nerves and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I first went to see Dr. Geno because of lower back and knee pain from weightlifting. He knew exactly what was needed and my pain was gone within 2 days. Recently, I had another back injury and, needless to say, I made an appointment right away and had the same great experience. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Dr. Geno! read more

This was my first visit to purchase some soothing rub for my lower back pain. I have never have any acupuncture done before. He listened, located where the pain was and when to work on it. With 20 minutes, the pain was gone, I was back to my normal activities. Wow! Thanks Dr. Diveley! read more

This review is LONG overdue. Over a month ago, I injured my neck due to chronic neck pain from work stress and for the first time in my entire life, ended up in the ER. I then had to attend appointments at the spine center and be injected with all kinds of steroids and anti inflammatory injections. Even after all that I was still in SO much pain that I ended up seeking acupuncture and cupping. Geno saved me. After a 30 minute session (1 hour total) of both, I was still in discomfort and pain so he had to do a second much deeper round in a certain spot and the pain 100% disappeared. He literally saved me. And the best part was how caring, knowledgeable, understanding, and accommodating he was. I will be visiting him in the future for further services. Forever grateful I gained mobility after his services and that I found him through Yelp. Thank you Geno! read more

I just went to write a new review (an updated review of HOW AMAZING Acujin is and realized the review that I wrote however long ago, I misspelled/misused "overdo" and intended to write "overdue" - thanks for overlooking that. :) My new review is to follow!! read more

Their acupuncture is amazing The targeted needles system work best when i have very tight myscle read more

I have been going here for years - my top pick for acupuncture. I had to write a review after i came in today after not coming in for a while because i moved across town. It was worth the long drive. I'm writing this as i'm laying in bed feeling so much better after chronic stiff tense lower back and hips. I'm experienced with trying different acupuncture offices even across the country . Geno is hands down the most effective- i guess he's not scared to really get deep in there if need be. I Definitely needed the reset today. Amazing- my body is so happy read more

Tried Hans' massage yesterday...was mediocre at best. He must have not read my intake form at all and didn't discuss it with me. Which means he just did a standard routine that he does on everyone. I specifically wanted my neck, arm and hands worked on and he spent like 2 minutes on them. Never asked about pressure which was WAY to light. I didn't come to get petted. Seemed like he was tired or bored and want to get out of there. After reading all these rave reviews I expected it to be much better. I guess I should try Geno next time... Geno did indeed redeem himself. I received the trigger point acupuncture plus massage treatment that was definitely grueling at times but quite effective. Geno explained that I'd be sore the day after but on the 3rd day it'd feel great. He was right, the next day I could barely moved! But the 3rd day my neck and shoulders felt much better. I would try this procedure again. read more

Gino is second to none! He displays so much passion and enthusiasm in making people with aches, pain, poor circulation... feel better! He's expert in his field! Naturally everyone wants your business in order to survive, but Gino is passionate in what he does that he talks about wanting and encouraging others to practice in this line of work. I have tried Physical Therapy dozens of times, had trigger injections with my Doctor, undergone massage therapy dozens of times, but for me it's the "dry needling" Gino's style that works for me. Gino finds areas knotted and tight that I didn't realize were there, he knows the pressure points. For me I get instantaneous results but continue going back for maintenance. Now that I know what it feels like to feel good, I never want that pain where you can't move, work, exercise, or simply enjoy your day. I'm telling you, you will be amazed at how good you feel without living with knotted painful muscles! read more

Dr. Geno is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Not only is Geno an expert with acupuncture, but he also has numberous tools and additional techniques which he adds to his services. I feel like he truly cares about my well-being. read more

I have been coming here seeing Geno for a few months now and he is fantastic! My only wish is I would have found him years ago as he has fixed some serious pain issues for me within a few visits, even after my first visit I saw remarkable improvements that I never saw with other acupuncturist or with physical therapy. I highly recommend him to everyone and have referred several of my friends, family, and coworkers to him. read more
