I was referred to Calvine's acupuncture practice by a client of mine and I'm so grateful! He is very polite and takes his time to understand and address your concerns. His office is clean and relaxing! He explains the treatment in detail and listens to concerns. I suffer from very bad migraines and insomnia. I had a migraine on my first visit and left feeling so much relief! By the time I went to bed that night it was gone and I slept like a baby! This is the way to go if you want a natural approach to healing! I am done with big pharma and all the toxins and chemicals that are not good for our bodies! I will be going back on a regular basis and will be telling everyone about him! I highly recommend him! read more

Great relaxing atmosphere and customer service. Super clean facility. Highly recommended.

One of the best acupuncturists in, Menifee Ca. Professional and caring for all his patients. Knows how to work with his patients.

My family has been going here for almost 2 years now. I would highly recommend giving his office a try. Neck pain, back pain, migraines the doctor had helped our family in so many ways. He does take some insurance, call to see which kind. It's a relaxing office and I never feel rushed. I looked into several offices before choosing this one and I made the right choice. read more

I'm a very skeptical person and had to do a lot of research and ask around about acupuncture. I have a back injury that always causes me to be in pain whether I'm sitting or laying down, walking or standing. Pain is always there sadly. I was very nervous my first day as we are currently in a pandemic yet Calvine follows protocols and makes sure the office is clean and safe for us. After my first session I felt great I was painless and relaxed, never thought this would make me relax so much that I took a nap lol. Anyways I want to thank Calvine for his amazing work and his way of treating his patients, always communicating and making sure my pain levels are down. Thank you Calvine for the hard work I definitely recommend your work BTW update on that shocking sensation I had going on my back has not been back since last time we spoke about it so that's definitely a plus read more

I've had horrible migraines since I was a child. I have known what it is like to miss family functions and to be the one left behind all the time in the dark because I can't handle the light or sounds or smells around me. The nausea and pain are awful and can go on for days sometimes. I missed work. Luckily I have a wonderful husband and understanding daughter who give me the space I need. I was so grateful when I met Calvin and he introduced me to accpunture. It's really amazing what he can do with those little needles. He calms the mind, the only way I can describe it. read more

Both my husband and I are patients of Calvine Castro and we have both had such a tremendous benefit from his care. I've had other acupuncture providers and Calvine's approach was far and beyond what I experienced before. Simply the best! read more

Dr Calvin is Great!! He listens he is polite and office is very clean , Considering I have back shoulders and neck pain , I recommend Dr Calvin for those areas of constant pain it's definitely a reliever!! Thank you Dr Calvin ! read more

Acupuncture. Has offices in Temecula and unfortunately, he only comes to Menifee every other Saturday. He is very gentle, nice and friendly. I started going July 22, but my insurance only authorized 3 appointments. It was starting to make me feel better. read more

I work at a Law Firm and tried contacting this provider multiple times to request for records and bills for one of our clients, I was never able to contact ANYONE, and i tried everything, phone calls, voice mails, emails, fax, and even submitting a message on their website. Nothing. Never received a call back, a reply, nothing despite multiple tries. I come to find out that not only have they not reach out to me and not replied, but they blocked my number too. This definitely goes to show the quality of their customer service, which leaves much more to be desired. Still hoping that there will be a miracle and they will reach out to me someday... read more

I don't want to say "miracle worker", but after just one visit I felt relief that I haven't felt in years. Calvin is amazing, my highest recommendation. read more

Dr. Castro is amazing. He is very respectful and easy to talk to. I have been coming to his office for three months for acupuncture services and must say his office is very well maintain. I'm so happy I found this place. I was in so much back pain for a whole decade, and after the first treatment, I noticed a massive difference in my pain level. The following appointments have also been great when it comes to managing my pain; I no longer take pain medication ever since I started to go here. Overall this place is a good place to try if medication is not working as effectively. read more

Absolutely amazing. I have had Accupunture before with no significant results. After attending my fist session, not only did I have much need relief, I was able to sleep a full 8 hours. My husband notice a significant difference in me , he who would never entertain acupuncture requested a referral from his Primary. Calvin is amazing !!!! Thank you sooooo much read more

Calvine is very knowledgeable in acupuncture and each time I was treated by him, I felt relief for whatever I went in for. If my insurance covered acupuncture I would go more often, but now that I've switched insurance, I can only go once in awhile. My body definitely feels the difference. I have told my coworkers how amazing Calvine's treatments are. read more

I am a post cancer treatment dealing with inflammation and joint problems. Dr Castro in 4 sessions has made to to where I can walk normal and use my hands again. I highly respect . Great atmosphere and friendly. read more

First visit with Calvine today. I was so impressed with his work. Came in with Sinus, asthma, back and shoulder pain, after Calvine worked on me, I left felling so much better than I came in.

What a difference a day makes...All because I went to Calvine Castro yesterday. I had fallen of a step in the garage, and for a couple of weeks my whole body hurt, especially my shoulders and lower back. Woke up today with no pain. He is absolutely the best, anytime I have pain, knees, shoulders, back, whatever he is the answer for relief. He's even helping with my sleep problem. I highly recommend Calvine Castro Acupuncturist. read more

I have turned to acupuncture to help relieve my aches and pains, and to help relax and battle stress. Recently my aches and pains just won't go away and Calvine has helped me to get immediate relief. He's gentle, he listens to you, he focuses on you and tweaks his treatment based on how you are responding. He is good at what he does, and he's a nice guy too! He operates out of the Graybill location in Temecula on Thursdays, and in Menifee on other days of the week. Very convenient if you live in the area. If you have been pondering acupuncture as an alternative method to treat what ails you, give Calvine a try. read more

My Mother, Nellie had a stroke in 2020 and has had chronic headaches ever since. After becoming Calvine's patient, her pain level went from 9 to 0. We are so thankful to his well thought out approach and highly recommend him. Thanks again Calvin for treating my Mom so gently and respectfully, (with your talented skill set). Happy Mother's Day to Tina! As my Mom says, this is not goodbye... read more

Excellent work very professional I went in with back pain and neck pain very successful with relieving neck pain my back is way beyond acupuncture but I would highly recommend Calvine acupuncture. read more

My experience with Calvine was fantastic. This was my first time with Accupuncture which was somewhat scary but Calvine's professionalism and openness to listening helped to ease my fears. He walked me through the process and answered all of my questions very patiently. The experience felt similar to going to see my physical therapist rather than an eastern spiritual healer. Calvine definitely seems to be bridging that gap between eastern and western ideas of healing. The fact that he works in doctors offices with referrals goes to show his mission of fusing eastern and western modalities, for Accupuncture to seem less foreign and more acceptable. If you're curious but hesitant about Accupuncture this is a great place to start. My only criticism is the doctors office is pretty clinical. If you want to have a relaxing experience bring an eye mask and maybe some ear plugs:) read more

After an unsuccessful back surgery I was still in a lot of pain! On a pain scale of 0-10; ten being the worst pain ever...I was a high 9. I have a high pain tolerance and even gave birth without any meds at all...but with all that said, I was a high 9 in pain going in to see Calvin. "Traditional" doctor/surgeons would tell me that I was as good as I would get and I should be grateful I wasnt completely paralyzed! I was unable to lift my leg up more than about an inch. I went in to see Calvin as a skeptic and had very low expectations of finding any kind of improvement. WOW... was I wrong! Within an hour Calvin had my pain level at 7 and still going down as I left and I was able to lift my knee up several inches! I am so glad that Calvin proved me wrong and I continue to go back for help with everything from anxiety, headaches, back pain, knee pain, to losing weight and so much more! Thank you Calvin, you have improvedmy quality of life by keaps and bounds... no pun intended! read more

I started seeing Calvine about a year ago for migraines and daily headaches. I am now off medication and feeling sooo much better! He listens and does what your body needs. He is a great acupuncturist!! read more

I've suffered from severe tension headaches & migraines for the past 26 years and nothing has helped. Medication does nothing for me anymore. I got tired of ending up in urgent care monthly to get an injection to relieve my pain. I practically live with a headache. I asked my doctor for treatment other than just pain killers. He finally referred me to acupuncture this past July and boy has that helped me big time!!! I can't believe this wasn't thought of before! I am so thankful for acupuncture and for Calvine Castro, he is the best and knows how to make my pain go away so that I can have a better lifestyle free of pain!! read more

My first experience with acupuncture, and I'm never seeing anyone else. Excellent patient care and immediate results after the first session. read more

I am finally FREE from a constant pinching in my neck that I have been dealing with for 20 years! I have driven my family nuts with endless requests for neck and shoulder massages. I was beyond skeptical with acupuncture, but not sure why because I knew nothing about it or the benefits, and boy let me tell you, talk about a release on so many levels! During my first visit, I literally broke down in tears to where I could barely speak.  I realized just how tired and broken I was. But Calvine was beyond amazing and he looked me straight in the eyes and he told me not to worry because he was going to be able to help me. That was the first time someone ever told me that! I have seen my doctor(s) many times and not one of them ever said that to me. I just felt like another patient with an appointment sitting in their office. But with Calvine, I knew in my gut I was where I was meant to be because the energy was also on point! He is passionate about his work and he is a PROFESSIONAL! The overall experience is like no other. In my first session I broke out in a sweat and I knew my body was releasing toxins. I even knocked out for a few seconds. When I came to my thighs and back were drenched in sweat (I was sitting in a chair) and I just had this sense of a release on so many different levels. Each session has had different outcomes as well, which is also very interesting. Overall, I have learned to relax during the seasons and really be in touch with what is going on with my body. I also started napping after my appointments and I DO NOT NAP! I end up feeling so relaxed, energized, and in a good mood! Other times I feel like I am emotional and cranky, but again, I know I need a nap! LOL. Oh, I almost forgot, I received a referral from my doctor at Kaiser to see Calvine because she had informed me I had "normal wear and tear" in my joints, and let me just tell you there is nothing normal about feeling fatigued, constant muscle aches, pinching in my neck and aches in ALL OF MY JOINTS. Osteoarthritis sucks and don't ever let anyone tell you that any form of arthritis is normal and how we all get it! Arthritis is draining physically and mentally. In closing,  I know my osteoarthritis is here to stay, but I am blessed to have found Calvine and his practice in Acupuncture to help with my pain management.  If you're thinking about it, JUST DO IT. Your only regret is going to be not seeing him sooner. :) read more

OMG! Why did I wait so long to do acupuncture? I have been suffering with a stiff lower back hamstring pain for over a year now. I've gone to massage therapy with no success. One day the light clicked...what about acupuncture? I really like Dr. Castro. He is very informative and although I was nervous he made me quite comfortable. After one visit I can touch my toes with no tight band feeling in my lower back. I sneezed with no pain in my lower back. I haven't driven for over an hour yet to see if the pain in my lower back and hamstring has subsided but I suspect it won't be a problem anymore. I am amazed and shocked with how well it works. Next visit we are going to tackle my neck. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Castro. read more

I want to say what a great experience I've had with acupuncture. I've never had acupuncture and when I came in my pain level was at a 12; after about 5 sessions my pain level has decreased substantially to about a 2. Calvine has been great he knew exactly where to place the needles and the outcome has been amazing! Great facility and very friendly and caring staff I highly recommend Calvine!!!! read more

Calvine G Castro - Acupuncture Near Me - Temecula, California

Pain management specialist, rheumatologist, physical therapy, massage therapy, medicine...nothing has helped my back pain the way acupuncture has. I recommend it to everyone now. Thank you, Calvine! read more

I was given a referral by my dr for acupuncture for arthritis and disc degeneration in my back and hip area. Had a second appointment scheduled yesterday. Had so much pain and tightness in my leg that I could hardly put weight on it and difficulty walking. Even took out my cane that I had not used in over 15 yrs , since back surgery, to help me walk. Calvine worked with me to find the pain and help to alleviate it. By the time I left his office it was easier for me to walk. I could put weight in my foot without feeling like my leg would give out on me. Most of the pain and tightness was gone by late afternoon. This morning still some tightness in my leg but nothing like this'll yesterday at this time. If you have never tried acupuncture I would suggest you give Calvine Castro a try. Thank you. Suppose to be hiking in Mammoth and Lake Tahoe next week. Yesterday I thought no way that would happen. Today, looks like I may make it. read more

Excellent! It's obvious from the beginning that Calvine really cares about his patients. I'm not afraid of needles, but I was hesitant to try acupuncture. However, after my first session I felt relief and was so happy that I tried it! It also helped that Calvine was very friendly and reassuring while still being professional. He's easy to talk to and listens to your concerns. I like that he explains what he's doing and why. I have happily recommended him to family and friends. read more

I've used other acupuncturists in the past to get relief from back, hip and leg pain, the type of pain that causes loss of sleep and hard to function on a daily basis. Had my first visit with Dr. Castro on 09-03-19 and with in 10 minutes of my first treatment I had relief from the pain in my right buttock down my leg and within another 5 minutes my back pain subsided. First thing in the morning is my worst time for back pain and leg stiffness, but this morning was a whole lot better with minimal pain and stiffness. I highly recommend Dr. Castro as a top quality acupuncturist and down to earth no nonsense professional in his line of business. read more

Calvine is awesome! Super friendly and helpful, he has magic in those needles! I've had acupuncture before for my chronic neck pain and it didn't work nearly as well. He has just opened a send office in Temecula so he's busy but still have no problem making appointments with him. He has relieved my neck pain like no one else has ever been able to do,I highly recommend him! read more

First I want to start off by saying I was a complete skeptic. I didn't believe that acupuncture could work for me. A little background I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) sclerosis in the hips knees ankles elbows hands wrists etc. (deterioration of the tissue) as well as fibromyalgia (an auto immune disease and nerve condition that causes pain throughout your entire body, it causes easy bruising, extreme fatigue as well as many other symptoms ( basically my entire body felt tender to the touch). I also have something called a pars defect which is a missing portion of my lower spine. I have suffered from severe anxiety panic attacks body tremors and twitches shakes sciatic pain etc. I remember my first appointment with Calvine after my session was over he asked me how I felt. It was so strange to respond with "nothing" it was the most surreal experience and most emotional moment of my entire life. I didn't feel pain anywhere for the first time in almost four years. It was as if this weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Not only did I not feel pain or tenderness but no fear anxiety or worry. As the weeks went on I progressively got better. It helped me not only physically but mentally as well. Everything just shifted. The things that used to feel huge and defeating just weren't. I was humbled by this process. To realize that there was something out there that could give me my life back. After several on going and consecutive sessions with Calvine I have overcame so many things. I no longer take nerve medication, pain killers, or anxiety meds anti depressants etc. He truly is an angel sent from heaven in my eyes. He cares about me as a patient and as a person. He truly is in the business for the right reason. That is simply to help people. I feel confident in saying he is one of the best things to ever happen to me. His love for his practice his wife and their little boy is truly admirable. He truly is an amazing doctor and person. My life was forever changed. And i an eternally grateful. Hands down I would recommend acupuncture with Calvine to anyone. There is no harm in trying. I promise you won't regret it :) read more
