Sharing this on behalf half of Nathan. I have visited Lina six times since April 2026, and she has quickly become my go-to acupuncturist for muscle and joint pain, especially involving the ankles, knees, shoulders, and back. Her treatment approach feels truly unique, thoughtful, and highly effective compared to other experiences I've had. I initially came in seeking relief for ongoing back pain. What impressed me most was how she focused on relaxing and treating both lower legs, which in turn relieved tension throughout my entire back area. The connection she identified and treated was remarkable, and I experienced noticeable relief surprisingly quickly after the session. Her ability to identify the root causes of discomfort, rather than simply treating the symptoms, demonstrates both deep expertise and a holistic understanding of the body. She is incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable in her practice. She takes the time to listen carefully, explain the treatment process, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. I never feel rushed during appointments, and she always answers questions thoroughly. Her communication skills, professionalism, and genuine compassion create a welcoming and reassuring environment that immediately puts you at ease. What stands out even more is her dedication to her patients' long-term well-being. She pays close attention to subtle changes in symptoms and adjusts treatments accordingly. It is clear that she is passionate about helping people heal and improve their quality of life. Her treatments not only address pain but also promote better mobility, circulation, relaxation, and overall balance. After each visit, I leave feeling not only physical relief, but also a greater sense of relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. The improvements have been consistent enough that I now look forward to my appointments, knowing that I will leave feeling better than when I arrived. If you are dealing with persistent pain, muscle tightness, stress, tension, or sports-related discomfort, I would absolutely recommend giving Lina a try. She has earned both my trust and loyalty, and I'm very grateful to have found such an exceptional practitioner. Skilled, caring, professional, and genuinely committed to her patients' health, she is one of the best healthcare providers I have worked with. read more

I was diagnosed with right hip tendonitis with chronic achy pain for two weeks. Prior to seeing Lina I was taking Advil, started PT, using ice/heat and lidocaine patches with minimal relief. After ONE VISIT, my pain went from 6-7 to a 1-2. I am beyond grateful and thankful for her. She's amazing, kind and skillful. I truly recommend her to anyone seeking relief. Thank you so very much Lina. read more

Came in with severe lower back pain. First time trying acupuncture, after 5 treatments my pain is almost gone. Able to start more core PT. Highly recommend, thank you Lina read more

Lina has been treating me for the past 3 years and I highly recommend her. As someone who stays active, I have injuries and ailments that need proper circulation to heal. Lina is caring and thoughtful with my treatment, I recently had sharp pain in my leg and after one visit, it went away. The other long term injuries take more time but heal completely with Lina's help. Thanks so much Lina! read more

I have gone to visit Lina to help ease my neck, back and shoulder pain, and she has helped ease the stiffness each time. Recently i was experiencing sciatic pain down my right leg, had done every stretch i remembered from Physical Therapy, and nothing was helping, so I made an appointment with Lina. After a weeks worth of pain, my sciatica was relieved within a day after visiting Lina. I immediately felt my nerves twitching, which is the best sign of muscles relaxing. I recommend making an appointment with her for any discomfort as she is also very knowledgeable and gentle. read more

Lina has been wonderful. She helped my mom with her back pain, which improved after three treatments and was gone after five treatments. She is also helping with my mom's shoulder pain. We are very happy with the care and results. Thank you, Lina! read more

I went in one time for low back pain, I have degenerating discs. I wasn't able to return the following week due to work. when I returned for my second appointment she asked me if I felt any different from the last treatment and I said no, I still have pain. she then said I should go see someone else. I asked her if I should have less pain after only one session and she said no, which is what I thought. I explained that I'm wanting to keep trying and she pretty much told me to go see someone else. I don't understand what I did wrong, I was always very nice and understanding when she would explain things, I paid my co-pay, I wasn't ever late for my appointment etc. very confusing and upsetting as this journey with back pain has already been extremely taxing and now I have to experience people like this who won't even try to help me. very unprofessional and just rude! read more

I'm experiencing right leg neuralgia. My right leg has not improved despite my attempts at various treatments, including acupuncture. At last, I located Dr. Lui. She dealt with my problem in an excemptional way and got it resolved. Dr. Lui struck me as being friendly and genuinely concerned about her patients. Without a doubt, Dr. Lui excels at what she does. I heartily endorse Dr. Lui read more

I was always skeptical of acupuncture and the process of how it will help with my neck and shoulder pain. However Lina has been great in the whole process and I am truly seeing improvement. When I first started I had a hump on the back of my neck but since treatment the hump has flattened out and it feels like my neck is longer and my posture has improved. Trust the process... you won't see results in 2 sessions but you will! read more

I began treatment for frozen shoulder in June of 2025. My doctors had warned me that this condition can take 1-2 *years* to improve. With Lina's amazing care, in just 2 months I have increased my mobility to nearly normal ranges and reduced my discomfort by a huge margin. Not only is Lina's experience and treatment exceptional, she is also a genuinely kind and joyful human being, so every appointment is both effective and enjoyable! read more

I would highly recommend this service! As a long -time skeptic, I have been pleasantly surprised at how well this treatment has improved my quality of life. Dr Lui was referred to me by my neurologist, which speaks highly of her skill. read more

Dr Lui was very knowledgeable and was very kind. I have the the carpal tunnel on my right hand and close to the thumb. Sometime, I cannot even hold the pen. Under Dr Lui' care, I just did 3 times the acupuncture, all the pain went away and I can go back my normal activities and life the things up without the pain. She is amazing! She is very gentle and I highly recommend for people who is looking for good acupuncture. She is the one to go to! Thank you Dr Lui! read more

Dr. Lui is a true professional, very knowledgeable, and friendly! This is my first time to be treated by acupuncturist. I wasn't sure what to expect. After 4 treatments over a week and a half, Dr Lui, was a real life saver from my extreme upper back pain, and excruciating pain and neuropathy down my left arm. After two treatments I was able to finally sleep again, what a relief! She does a good job of explaining the treatments and how and why the area she is working on will benefit you medically. I am so extremely thankful to her and her work that she has done on me. I highly recommend her for anyone that needs help with any sort of to pain control. Thank you, thank you, Dr. Lui!!! Sincerely, Dennis C. Foothill Ranch read more

Lina's work significantly helps with a sciatica issue originating in my lower back. The sciatica issue had been very persistent and undiagnosed for 9 months. After diagnoses, healing was very slow with taking precautions and physical therapy only. I tried acupuncture for the first time with Lina. The acupuncture treatment lasted approximately two months with 11 sessions and has greatly accelerated the healing. My back now feels very good and normal most of the time and is continuing to improve. Now, I'm back for a frozen shoulder. With only two treatments so far I can tell it has helped significantly -- AND better than hydrodilation that I tried 6 weeks ago. read more

I can't recommend Lina with LL Acupuncture & Herb highly enough! The treatments have been transformative, helping me with my herniated disc issue which had left me with shooting numbness and lose of strength on my left shoulder and arm. I started feeling much better after just three treatments thus far and I can already tell I am well on my way to hopefully a full recover in the near future. read more

Let me preface this by saying I am a martial artist and often dealing with injuries as a result of my physical activity. About a month ago I came to see Lina with reoccurring pinched nerves in my neck and shoulder area (both sides) and she explained several methods and techniques that she would use to reduce my pain and make my body well again. I put my trust in her, and I am fortunate to have found her. I am three sessions into my therapy and my back and neck are feeling great. I've done acupuncture with numerous different professionals and I KNOW Lina is one of the best I've worked with. She has used techniques I've never seen done, and clearly they have been successful. I wouldn't hesitate referring her to anyone who has been interested in trying acupuncture, whether you are an athlete or just feeling the stress and pains from everyday life. But don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself. read more

Dr. Liu is a miracle worker. Not only is she professionally and medically exemplary, but she is patient, kind, warm, knowledge, and willing to listen and answer questions. I was recently diagnosed with a bulging disc and degenerative disc and was in excruciating pain. I tried physical therapy, medication. I couldn't do simple tasks like bending over without pain and the worst part was I couldn't continue to workout without feeling like my back was going to break. After my second visit with dr. Liu 60% of my pain was gone. She is my lifesaver. read more

In my 20+ years receiving acupuncture treatment, Lina has been the very best. The previous reviewers are correct: her techniques and approach are different than others. I cannot explain it accurately through this review, but if you have been to other acupuncture clinics before then you will know once you receive your first treatment from her. One thing that I cannot be overstate is her bedside manner. She is so kind and just exudes warmth. She will listen to you and never appears to be in a rush. Your texts and phone calls will be replied to quickly. I have noticed an appreciable difference in the way I feel. I have beaten my body up through sports, martial arts, and work stress. Going to Lina is like getting a tune up from a mechanic that cares about you and your car. read more

Dr. Lui is amazing! I had my shoulder worked on for shooting pains and she healed it up. She is kind and caring and very knowledgeable. She had also worked on my son for a tendon injury and he is healing and getting ready to head back to sports. We are so glad we have found Dr. Lui!! read more

Dr. Lui is a miracle worker. I have had acupuncture before in Georgia and we just moved back to California last year. I tried another acupuncturist a few times and had no results and not very engaging. Have had four treatments for my knee and am so happy with no more pain. My husband had never tried acupuncture before and came because severe shoulder pain - he is the one who started to call Dr. Lui the miracle worker. Highly recommend. read more

Lina is great! I had tried everything previously to help with low back pain and tennis elbow. I tried acupuncture and that was the fix! My body feels so much better. But I have also found that acupuncture helps more than just pain. I sleep better, I notice i am super relaxed afterward and my anxiety tends to be much lower after. Usually each session I end up falling asleep for 15-20 minutes where I just get the most restful sleep. Did I mention she takes insurance too! Most places I had been prior didn't take it. But she worked with my insurance carrier and helped get all the info I needed. (I don't know that she takes all carriers though) so if you have hit a wall with body pain or most any ailment and other methods never seem to cut it I recommend giving it a shot! At first it is a little weird they put the pins in you. but I have found they are extremely precise and good at getting it right. Sometimes they do hurt a little bit at first but once they are in for a couple minutes it usually settles. Someone of the pins that hurt the most also feel the best when you are done. So do your mind and body a favor and try it out! read more

I found a wonderful acupuncturist but also a new friend. Lina Liu, LAc takes her time to listen to the issues you want to resolve and she sincerely wants to get to the root cause. Her calm nature also adds to the relaxation experience acupuncture brings me. I have seen her twice so far and each time I left relaxed and then I get a burst of energy! I can't say enough positive things about Lina. Her office is very clean and welcoming. Lina definitely has positive energy and truly wants to help her patients. I am grateful to be under her care and look forward to healing and feeling more energetic with Lina's help and guidance. read more

After having neck/spine surgery I thought I'll never be pain free again. That is before meeting Dr. Lui. In just two acupunture sessions the pain is almost gone and I can move around without issues! Highly recommend this office. read more

Have had neck pain for years due to arthritis, bone spurs, and stenosis. Decided to give acupuncture a try. Was so happy to find Lina Lui in Lake Forest. She explained everything she would do and was doing. Very comfortable and clean environment. Every session is different and she has really helped with my pain. Would highly recommend her. read more

I wanted to get treatment outside of the VA healthcare system for various health problems sustained during and after my military deployment and service. I am fortunate that I found Lina through Google search and was convinced after reading the positive reviews from her patients. It was my first time trying acupuncture and believed in the healing properties of traditional Chinese medicine. She listened to my concerns with empathy. She explained the process and put my mind at ease. I felt relaxed after my first session and looking forward to the next. read more

I've been treated by Lina for almost a month now, and I've had better results than what I've had from western medicine. I accidentally found her, I was desperate because I was having very bad migraines. I've been having migraines since I was 14 years old, and I've even had Botox done for the migraines but they come back after the Botox wears off. However, since I've been coming to Lina I haven't had as many migraines as I was. I've reduced my medication intake. She's very caring and shows it every time she treats me. I truly recommend everyone to seek acupuncture treatment from Lina. read more

Dr Lui is fantastic. I came in for allergies and knee problems. She explains what is going on and is very helpful. My knee and allergies got better! I'm glad I found someone that is highly experienced and caring. I highly recommend Dr Lui. read more

Lina helped me with cupping and Acupuncture I felt comfortable and she took good care of me read more

I needed help for my three bulging discs in my lower back but I never considered Acupuncture. After a year of trying to fix my sciatic issues, I went to my doctor and he recommended acupuncture. After multiple acupuncture treatments and stretching, my pain has almost completely diminished. Acupuncture was a relaxing experience for my mind and body. Lina was kind and patient with me during my treatments and I will return when needed. I have recommended her to friends and family. read more

My daughter started see Lina Lui about 2 weeks ago and has had tremendous results. She had chronic pain for over a year and after the first acupuncture treatment her pain was nearly gone. Lina is so caring and takes time to understand what is going on in the body and in every day life before determining how to proceed. We highly recommend her. read more

I've been seeing Lina Lui for about 4 months now. She has helped me with my ongoing pain in my legs and regained my energy back. She is a caring and gentle person and makes you feel comfortably. She also explains what she is going to do before she does it. In conversation I asked if she performs cosmetic acupuncture for wrinkles on the face, she does! So, I decided to try it. To my amazement. "It worked." I am extremely happy with Lina Lui and I would "highly recommend" her to any one who has a variety of pain issues and considering cosmetic acupuncture as a alternative than other beauty face methods. I am so very pleased with her and again highly recommend her read more

Dr. Lina Lui is truly amazing. She is so kind, trust worthy, gentle and very knowledgeable. She was able to heal a chronic back pain that no one else could. I highly recommend Dr. Lina Lui to anyone living with a pain. read more
