I had a fantastic experience here! The clinic itself is incredibly quiet, clean, and professional, and I was warmly welcomed by a very nice receptionist. I was treated by David Di (L.Ac, Dipl. OM), who was informative, concise, and helpful throughout the entire visit. The treatment was very thorough: he started with a consultation where I truly felt heard, and then moved on to a brief massage with acupressure on my problem areas before performing heated cupping and acupuncture. The results have been highly effective. I was slightly sore afterward, but the immense discomfort I've been experiencing from lower back pain and a torn rotator cuff has subsided. I can actually feel the circulation in my shoulder again, and the stubborn knots in my shoulder blade have finally released...thank goodness! It feels so good to know there is such a great acupuncturist to add to my holistic health care plan. I am already looking forward to my follow-up appointment! Oh yeah... parking wasn't bad. You can pay for parking on the corner of Figueroa and Olympic ($15). I am sure you can find street parking, too, but it's worth the peace of mind. read more

I came in with a pinched nerve in my back and it was gone after my first visit. We are now working through additional nerve issues and his knowledge and expertise has been really helpful. David takes his time with each visit which is so appreciated. I highly recommend read more

I had terrible lower back pain for about three weeks, and out of desperation I found David Di Acupuncture on Yelp--he's truly amazing. I don't know how he did it, but after just one session my pain was about 80% better. I went back a week later for a second session, and he also helped with arm pain I'd been dealing with on and off for months. read more

I am a real patient! Dr. Di is a miracle worker, and I'm not exaggerating. I first found him on yelp, when I was desperate for relief from SI pinched nerve feeling. It was so painful I was at urgent care the day before and got very little relief from the pain medication they gave me. In my first session, he did cupping and acupuncture and I received a great deal of relief, but still had some pain a week later. I went back for a second treatment and we do a similar, cupping and acupuncture, treatment and the pain was gone a week later. I have now seen him 3 times and the debilitating pain is gone. I cannot explain the magic, but he has it. If you're looking for a healer, look no further and schedule your visit. Happy healing! read more

I sprained my ankle badly while in the U.S., and I was told it could take a long time to get the CT scans back from the hospital. So I decided to visit this Chinese medicine clinic, and I'm so glad I did. David Di was incredibly hospitable and knowledgeable. He took the time to assess my condition carefully and explained that since the injury was still fresh, it would be better to begin Chinese medicine treatment in the second week for optimal results. He asked when I would return to my home country and thoughtfully suggested getting the scan and further treatment there for better timing. Even though the full treatment wasn't suitable yet, he still carefully helped me with some immediate care for my ankle and provided detailed instructions on how to manage it myself in the meantime. Most impressively, he didn't charge me any fee at all. I'm truly grateful for his kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Highly recommend this clinic! read more

I had never done acupuncture before so I was a bit skeptical. But nothing would get rid of this persistent pain on my knee. I couldn't go up or down stairs and the doctors couldn't explain what was going on. I was recommended to David Di's office and after the first session my body started changing. After the next day I could move more easily and I started losing weight. I love coming here to relax and have been recommending it to almost every person who has any body aches. David is super professional and explains everything you ask. 10/10 experience! read more

I had serious hip and back problems, but I didn't want to see a chiropractor and couldn't find a physical therapist in my area. Then I found David online. He was available, and after just the first session I noticed improvement. By the second session my back pain was almost gone, which allowed us to focus on other issues. He also helped me address women's health concerns that I needed to take care of, and his support made a big difference. read more

First time at David Di Acupuncture for massage therapy due to my consistently stiff back and neck. I usually get massages when I'm back in Taiwan but never here in LA. I figured I should establish care somewhere and I'm so glad I did. The office is conveniently located inside the Petroleum Building and it's such a historical vibe. My massage therapist is Richard Lee and he's just fabulous. He uses a mixture of tui na, acupressure, and deep tissue massage, and would adjust based on the different knots in my body. I literally went into the office with a sprained neck from sleeping in a weird position, and to my surprise, it was no longer there by the time I left the office. Richard is knowledgeable and would explain to me the different pressure points, so it's fun to learn too. David is super nice and friendly - I used my HSA card for payment and he provided me with all the invoice and receipt I needed. No issues. Overall, super happy with the care I received and will be a returning patient! read more

David came recommended by a friend, I walked into his office with severe back pain, not really being able to sit. He was knowledgeable and attentive, and I felt renewed after the first session. His office is clean and I appreciate his text message visit reminders especially with the information on how to park to get to his office. 100% recommend! Your body will thank you for it! read more

I decided to go to David's clinic after finding him on Yelp and reading through all the reviews. After going to two sessions with him, I can attest that all the reviews are accurate and he is very skillful in what he does. David is very accommodating and professional. I was having lower back pain during my second appointment and he adjusted the treatment to focus on my back along with my neck. I started feeling less pain in my neck and lower back immediately after. He is responsive to my request and I trust his judgement. Highly recommend. read more

I was recommended to David by a friend who has been seeing him for years for her chronic back pain. This was my first time experiencing acupuncture, and I knew I needed to try something new after experiencing deep muscular pains in my back, coupled with a recent scoliosis diagnosis. The communication prior to my appointment was amazing! I booked online via his website, and in the days leading up to my visit, I received a couple reminder texts, as well as very thorough information on where to park (bring $5 in CASH). Upon coming into his office, I was greeted by Brittney, who was super friendly and explained all the necessary documents I needed to complete. I arrived really early to my appointment time because I was already in the area, and to my surprise, David was willing to fit me in earlier! He did not have to (nor did I ask to) given that he is client-to-client, but that goes to show his above and beyond service. I explained my pain points and challenges, and David listened attentively during my consultation and was ready to address the issues with ease. I was genuinely surprised by the level of service and comfort--he did some sort of massage down my spinal area and noted the areas that were more painful for me. I typically grin and bear the pain, but he made sure we were communicating with each other so that he wasn't stressing on the areas that were painful. He then did chiropractic-level movements with my neck and back, which ended with a cupping session and then the acupuncture. Throughout the entire service, David was professional, thorough, and light-hearted. I can tell that he will try to match the energy of his clients, and I say this because I laugh when I'm in pain, and he was quick to reassure and, again, communicate clearly. He also recommended a few targeted exercises to help with my pain. I had no expectations for this consultation, and having experienced a massage, chiro, PT, and acupuncture all in one session has made me a repeat client! David is worth the price and the experience. read more

I've been wanting to find an acupuncturist since my last one closed her office and I'm so glad I found David. After one treatment, I feel amazing! Even my morning sinus allergies significantly cleared up and that's not even what I went in for. The whole session was comfortable, even with my fear of needles. Parking is easy too with a lot behind the building. Highly recommend! read more

I hate to sound like a broken record but when you got it, YOU GOT IT. I have chronic back and neck pain, tightness all over, stress, and PCOS. David tends to it all. I come out of every session feeling renewed and always look forward to the next session. I even picked up his gua sha tools, which by the way, do the trick for at home treatments. Keep up the great work David! read more

I have chronic costochondritis as well as scoliosis, tight hip flexors and IT band, and a more recent neck and shoulder injury. I'm very active and hard on my body. I hadn't ever done acupuncture before, but I figured I'd give it a try. David did massage, cupping, electostim, and acupuncture. I couldn't believe how much better I felt the next morning after my first session, like insanely better. I went from not being able to take my shirt off over my head without pain to no pain whatsoever. He is really an incredible healer, and I highly recommend. read more

I used to see Dr Cathy Ming in N Hollywood from 1989-2002. Her and her husband Harry had a great little shop on Riverside at Lauren Canyon. SHE COULD CURE ANYTHING! She retired at 70 and everyone I knew that went to her panicked. She was generational as Her father was also an acupuncturist his entire career. That is like 130 years of experience and it showed in results. Didn't matter what your ailment was, Cathy fixed it. She was a genius. Since then, between living in Palm Springs, LA, NYC, Boston, and Chicago (and now back to LA,) in 20+ years I have not found an acupuncturist where when you leave the office you feel IMMEDIATE results, lighter, happier, more energy, with tremendously reduced symptoms, and faith that the money was well spent. I was starting to think I didn't believe in acupuncture at all anymore. I have a new Dr Ming in Dr David Li. Huge improvement all around. My partner notice it when I walked through the front door and even commented how profoundly lighter and happier I was. I CANNOT recommend David highly enough. Now, I as a gay man, will be giving him 'notes' on his offices, but results is where it counts and I am a different person after suffering with a torn meniscus for 4 months. 75% reduction in one session. Rebooking for next week. Tim A. read more

When I first visited David in Sept 2022, I was suffering from a number of physical pains that made it almost impossible to even get on the therapy table. Today I'm fully mobile and it is largely due to David's commitment to recovery and care. David's approach is truly tailored to your needs. He asks insightful questions that lead to a combination of therapies that can include massage, acupuncture, and cupping. He also has been encouraging beyond the sessions by educating good habits in posture and exercise - all essential for proper recovery. Although I don't see David as frequently as I did at the beginning of my recovery journey, his consistent, kind energy has remained the same which speaks to his professionalism and commitment to care. If you're in need of a healer who views your recovery holistically and acts as a supportive partner in your health journey, look no further than David. Would give his practice 6 stars if I could. Thank you, David! read more

The BEST!!!!!!!!!! I had significant pain in my arm and nothing worked. After two visits with Dr. Di, my pain disappeared completely. The treatment was effective. Dr. Di is the ultimate professional, my appointment started on time, and he never tried to recommend unnecessary additional services or appointments. Five stars-- you can't go wrong with Dr. Di. I am forever grateful for my treatment. read more

Thank you, David for being a miraculous healer!!David's personalized treatment for my back, hip/leg injury was exactly what I needed. I had an exercise injury that was at a level 10 pain level. At the time of appointment, I was at a level 8-9 pain level and tried muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory prescription meds that didn't help much. I still couldn't walk without pain or walk very far without stopping. At the end of my one hour treatment, I got off the table and could walk with little to no pain. I couldn't believe it but I'm so grateful that healers like David exist. With acupuncture with electro stimulation, cupping and massage, David was able to get me to be as good as new. Do yourself a favor and heal yourself from within. read more

Accupuncture is something that I have never experienced before, I had some doubts until visiting this accupuncture clinic owned by Dr. David Di. The experiences were beyond my expectations. Dr. Di is very knowledgeable and he cares about his patient. Throughout a series of treatment visits, his sessioin carefully tailored to my needs, and the results were almost immediate. I had been suffering from lower bank and shoulder pain for quite some time, and after my first visit I could already feel a significant improvement. He combines accupuncture, cupping, message based on each treatment on that day. I would highly recommend this accupuncture clinic to anyone looking for a professional and caring practice. Five stars all the way! The location is convient with a $5 dollar parking in the building underground. read more

I've seen 3 other acupuncturists so believe me when I say that David is incredible. Everything about my visit was flawless - the friendly receptionist, the detailed intake information, David's focus on what brought me in, and all the treatments he did. I left feeling better than I have in months. He really does go above and beyond. If I lived in LA permanently (I'm visiting), I'd go to David's at least once a month. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. David. He given his immense knowledge and incredible technique. I got my neck and lower back pain issue which were driving me crazy. Dr. David treated me with acupuncture a few times and it worked. For personal, I would feel something uncomfortable symptoms such as aching or mild headache one or two days; and It is normal. It's a lot of safer than pain prescription or otc which can long term effects or addiction. Dr David is personable and actually care about you as a patient. He always listens to my concerns and makes sure I leave feeling pain free. Very fortunate that my friend recommended this wonderful provider and office. read more

David Di Acupuncture - Pulse diagnosis for comprehensive evaluating my body situation - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had tried acupuncture one time prior to my experience with David Di, and nothing really happened. It gave me doubts about the practice. Though because I was in need of help with my full body tension & discomfort/fatigue, I decided to give David Di's spot a try based on the rave reviews. It was clear from the start that he is the real deal. Immediately after session one, I felt the stagnation in my body loosen/shake up within me, allowing the energy to flow. In certain spots I felt the blockages remove completely, like removing leaves from the gutter. I left feeling heavy in a good way, and after resting, the energy cleared and only comfort remained. The subsequent days allowed for a consistent release of benefits which has lasted indefinitely. He has restored my faith in acupuncture therapy and I am looking forward to future sessions - until I am inevitably healed completely read more

Dr. David Di is WONDERFUL! I have chronic back pain from 2 spinal fractures. I've done a year of physical therapy with mixed results. I've often felt alone on my journey to regain lower-pain mobility. It seems that medical professionals are all focused on whatever incentive system they're operating in instead of the actual individual health and subjective experience of the patient. Dr. David Di is the exception and exceptional. He cares about patients with compassion, critical thinking, and thoughtfulness. I feel emotionally and physically healed each time I leave. I really appreciate the systems-thinking he applies to the treatment, and I've really noticed an improvement in my body's own ability to heal itself, from circulation improvements to reduced soreness to better sleep. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you for giving me hope! read more

I found Dr. Di after I broke my elbow last year. I had surgery and had to wear a cast and sling for weeks which created a lot of stress on my opposite shoulder. I went to Dr. Di and he helped me a lot with pain management as well as the recovery of my elbow. I had never had acupuncture before and was worried that it was going to be painful, etc.. as it turned out, I barely felt the needle! He listens to your concerns and tailors the procedures to what's best for you. These procedures can be a mix of massage, acupuncture, guasha, and cupping.. (and maybe more that I haven't had yet). I am sooo glad I found him! Fast forward to last week, I had two vertigo episodes followed by a stiff neck and pinched nerve situation. He is helping me with it! read more

Friendly and efficient service!! I came here twice for my stiff and sore neck, Doctor Di is being super nice and helpful by answering my concerns and questions. After the treatment, most of my soreness goes away. Great Service and highly recommended. read more

I had car accident back in September, and since then, all my muscles were tense and my whole body was in pain. I started having trouble falling asleep and the chiropractor that I visited did not help at all. Eventually, I end up having only 2 hours sleep a day, and started losing focus during the day. It got so bad to a point it was effecting my work. Then, my friend introduced this health center to me. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm amazed by this doctor. Ever since I came here, I saw a lot of improvements on my health! Not only was the doctor able to fix my muscle tension, but I'm finally able to sleep like normal again. He went above and beyond by readjusting my digestive systems also! I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

I had a neck pain and neck pain and got recommended by a local friend to David for an acupuncture and cupping treatment. David is really nice and professional and asked very detailed questions about my condition and he developed a treatment plan for me. For my first visit, I had the neck and back acupuncture and cupping. It was a great experience and I felt the neck condition improved already. He was also kind and gave me a lot of suggestions on pain relief at home. Looking forward for my next visit. read more

I have been experiencing pain on my shoulder and neck for 3 days. And I feel numb down my arm from the tension on my neck. My friend recommended Dr. Di in North Hollywood. He examined me and told me how he is going to treat the pain and how that works in my body system. He was very thorough with his examination and treatment; he really took his time to give me the best care. If you go to a western clinic with this kind of pain, they just give you a muscle relax pill or pain killer which doesn't really fix the problem. First, he relaxed the muscle and did hot stone treatment, then he gave me acupuncture. I was a little afraid to get acupuncture because I don't like needles. But it didn't hurt at all. I didn't even feel the needles going in. He also rang some chimes while I was getting acupuncture for 15 mins for an extra relax. His studio very clean, like its brand new, and also nicely decorated. He incorporated features into his space that helped me relax. It was very organized. You can tell he put a lot of thought into his space. He was also wearing a face mask and gloves whole time. read more

I had never been to an acupuncturist before, but I've been having so back and shoulder issues for a while. I decided to give it a try even though I am terrified of needles. First of all, David had a very clean work space. He took extra care in making sure the room was comfortable and relaxing for his patients. Everything from smells to sounds were considered, which I really thought was helpful since I was a bit anxious about needles. David took his time and made sure I was relaxed before he performed acupuncture. When it came to the needles, all I felt was him tapping it, but I didn't really feel much (which was a huge relief). I also got a hot stone treatment, which felt really good on my lower back. Now it's a few days later and I still feel really good! I will be coming back so he can continue to work o read more

He is an awesome care individual and doctor. His demeanor gentle and caring allowed me to become comfortable and more relaxed in being there. His extensive knowledge in the area of acupuncture and dealing with my conditions gave me confidence in being in his care.
