Visited Joel's Clinic for the first time and had an amazing massage by Janiell. If you're looking for a deep tissue massage, she's the one! After one session with Janiell, I decided I will be making a standing monthly appointment with her. Thanks Janiell! read more

I go here for acupuncture for my osteoarthritis. They are very thorough in regards to getting all the information that's needed. The acupuncture is amazing! I always leaving feeling light, relaxed and in a great mood. I think that everyone should try acupuncture. read more

It was the only place open that could take me asap. Everyone was very nice, but my experience there was barely acceptable. My session felt more like it was the first week out of school for the acupuncturist. I left not feeling any better. Thinking it was my condition and my fault for the lack of progress, I scheduled another session. Same outcome. I found another place to go. read more

I've been struggling with chronic back pain for years and tried everything from physical therapy, various back support devices, to medication, but nothing seemed to give me long-term relief--until I started seeing Dr. Rhiannon. From the moment I walked into her clinic, I knew I was in great hands. Dr. Rhiannon has such a calming presence, and you immediately feel comfortable in her care. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and really tailors each session to your specific needs. I appreciate how thorough she is in her approach and how she explains everything she's doing, which really helped me understand the process. The treatments themselves are incredibly effective. After just a few sessions, I started noticing a significant reduction in my back pain, and my mobility has improved greatly. I think I also lost weight which was a great bonus! What sets Dr. Rhiannon apart is her genuine commitment to her patients' well-being. She goes above and beyond to ensure you are feeling overall better in your body. Her professionalism, kindness, and expertise are truly unmatched. I've seen great results and highly recommend Dr. Rhiannon to anyone dealing with chronic pain or just looking to improve their overall wellness. She is a game-changer! read more

So happy I found Dr Rhiannon for my acupuncture. After months of shingle nerve pain Rhiannon knocked it out in about 7 sessions. She loads me up with needles which gave me the relief I desperately needed!! Highly recommend her! read more

Alicia (Aly) was highly skilled and knew exactly how to target problem areas. The session brought me significant relief and deep relaxation. Truly an excellent experience . From the moment the session started, I felt cared for and understood. The pressure was perfect, and she knew exactly where to focus! One of the best massages I've ever had. I left feeling so much better Highly recommended! Thank you Alicia (Aly)! read more

I saw Aly in October and she was amazing! I had had some neck pain but she really helped my whole body out. Made me realize how much tension I had been holding. She made me feel very comfortable and was very knowledgable. I will definitely be back, If I could I would see her every month! read more

Joel's Holistic Massage & Acupunture Clinic is amazing. The treatment rooms are lovely and provide a very calming and peaceful atmosphere for treatment. I have chronic pain and go there for acupunture. RHIANNON is my acupunturist and not only is she very good at what she does...she is kind and thoughtful. She lifts my spirits during my treatments while treating my pain. Words can't express how grateful I am for finding Rhiannon and this lovely place for my treatments. Donna Pardue Deember 19th 2025 read more

Best place to get a great therapeutic massage! I recommend this place for those who needs it! Especially for those who have sciatica nerve pain. Alyssa was great, I told her where the pain is, and she worked on that area. Love it! I made another appointment to see her again. read more

No, bad practices have consequences and you once again showed it by your reply. You did not offer me your people available until I requested 2 different ones that were only our Facebook where you told me look that were not available.. yes people do leave and retire but when they do, businesses remove them from your list of practitioners or don't tell patients to go look on a Facebook profile that is not updated or current..actually ibwas giving you guys a second chance because I was treated there several years ago and I was left in thr room alone with estim on my needles that malfunctioned and was electrocuting me so bad I could not even yell for help, that messed my back up for months and I never even got an apologies, so now that it's fresh on my mind again. I'll leave another review for that since you once again priced yourself unprofessional....and as you left our last conversation ill use your words..."bye" read more

I made an appointment to spend an hour because I was spending all week on my desk. The massage helped with some tension in my shoulders. The room was tidy and the therapist polite and relaxed. Didn't chat too much, which I liked. read more

Great acupuncturist Travis I'll be back there in a couple of days Nice location and Travis very professionally and friendly read more

Great message only didn't get one problem area but very relaxing and just enough pressure felt untangled and many knots removed will go back again read more

Had a great experience here. I was visiting San Diego and decided to book a 1 hour massage at Joel's clinic. Even the booking experience, Joel reached out to me to answer any questions I had, which I appreciated. My therapist was Christina and she was very professional and knowledgeable. Even for just an hour, she was very detailed and I had one of the best massages I've ever had, and felt a lot of relief afterwards. Thank you Christina! I hightly recommend trying this place out. read more

Abegail is an amazing massage therapist that is extremely talented. She worked knots out of my back that I have had for months. She is very knowledgeable in her profession. Joel's Clinic is the best place in East County, and accepts medical insurance! They are my favorite!!! read more

Hi, just me again. Lynne Crother! I just wanted to say that I am continuing treatments with Casey because she makes me feel so good. She is really powerful at what she does. The acupuncture has worked on me. I never would've thought it would. I would recommend Joel's Acupuncture and massage. 1149 North 2nd St. San Diego.! I just want to thank Casey for doing such acupuncture on me! P. S. There are two different shops. When is up the hill from 1149. I've been in both and they are very clean. They smell fresh they look clean beautiful design. I don't do dirty. read more

The staff, atmosphere and services are amazing. They are comforting and provide an energy that makes you immediately feel comfortable and at ease. Their communication is also on point. I highly recommend going to them and I will be returning over and over again. read more

I just had not only the most amazing massage but the best massage I have ever had by Rana at Joel's. I have always been very happy with all of the services I receive here as everyone is lovely and knowledgeable and friendly but Rana literally deserves 100 stars. The massage was the perfect mix of relaxing while still getting into the areas that were tight and needed more work. I could tell she really knew what she was looking for and was able to read what I needed without my direction. I will Certainly go back soon and also recommend her to everyone I know. THANK YOU RANA!! read more

I had my first session and it was great! The people here are wonderful and very nice. My pain has gone down so much , I can now sleep better. Thank you read more

We utilized services at Joel's clinic for a full body massage for my husband. The atmosphere as soon as you walk in is very relaxing, refreshing and welcoming. Alicia was there and my husband is deaf, I explained to him the full procedure and what would happen and how to let Alicia know if the it was too much pressure. I appreciated that she was very communicative and patient with us being it was his first time. He really enjoyed it and we will be back again. Thanks Joel for all the communication prior to setting up the appointment and thank you Alicia for being so amazing! read more

Had a miscommunication when I tried to book my first appointment online (don't book online; just call) but Joel reached out to me to make things right, and when I eventually received services, they were great. read more

I was able to schedule a last minute appointment with Elijah today! I've been in the er, urgent care and the doctors because of the pain I've been in the last 6 days. Elijah was a godsend today! He was able to loosen my muscles and I even regained a lot of the movement in my neck and shoulder! I was nervous because my back has been sore to the touch! But Elijah was gentle and effective in providing me some much needed relief! I've been going to Joel's clinic for years and have rarely been disappointed but Elijah knocked it put of the park today! So grateful they were able to get me in last minute and was thoroughly impressed with Elijah! I'll absolutely be back and requesting Elijah as my masseuse. read more

Came to try acupuncture for the first time. I've had nagging back and shoulder pain for awhile. Tried everything (including visits, X-rays, and referrals from my primary care doctor) but nothing helped. After just a few visits with Dr. Travis I'm nearly pain free 24/7. Plus my Medicare sharp advantage plan has him on the list and my copay is only $10. But I'd pay full price if they didn't because he is that good. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Will Schlesinger enough! Joel's Clinic was basically on a list of providers I could see for acupuncture with my insurance so it was a shot in the dark. And I lucked out becoming one of Dr. Will's acupuncture patients! He has a calming presence but still knows how to joke around and is very personable. The most important thing is that he is immensely well versed in his craft of acupuncture but also holds an immense amount of knowledge when it comes to the body overall. I do believe he holds a Bachelor's in addition to his acupuncture doctorate. At this point in time, due to a combination of orthopedic intervention and acupuncture, my back pain is resolved. However, I recommend him for any and all pain as he has an answer. As others have said, I always leave feeling like a weight has been lifted off of me. Joel himself is also on site frequently and is a pleasure to speak with. He too has a calming presence and really cares about his business. I know this should be a given but sadly it is not always so but the place is spotless, from the front desk, to your private treatment room, to the restroom. Do not hesitate to schedule with this practice as I find it very doubtful that you will regret it! read more

I got squeezed in last minute for a prenatal massage. Jack was amazing and very gentle yet my body feels like new. Definitely worth it!

Alicia gave me the most amazing deep tissue massage. She works Sunday and Monday I've had many many massages, she was up on the top!!!

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments at Joel's Massage and Holistic Center for almost one year to address shoulder pain. The treatments have resolved my pain, where it is minimal, and I am able to sleep at night. The acupuncturists (Dr. Zhau and Dr. Travis) have also helped me by treating leg pain, and sinus congestion. These treatments, along with other positive life habits, have improved my quality of life. Thank you! read more

My husband has chronic back pain stemming from a car accident when he was 19. He will never get better. Massage therapy is the only thing that seems to help for even a little bit to loosen up his back. He has seen a lot of massage therapists, but he came home from Joel's the other day and said Tanya gave him the most incredible massage he had ever had in his life. This is really saying something as he has had more than I can count. Said she really worked on his muscles to loosen him up. So I immediately booked another appointment. read more

I will continue to go for maintenance and overall health and well being. I also plan to get a massage. A lymphatic massage was recommended. All of the therapists and professionals I have met are so nice. And now I am finding out others I know go here and love it. I highly recommend. Give it a try; you won't regret it! read more
