Chantelle has treated me for over 20 years since I first began seeing her for pain management when she had her Practice in Old Town. She's treated everything from my spinal stenosis, stiff neck stingers, low back pain, sciatica issues, asthma, allergies, trigger finger, plantar fasciitis, etc. Some of my pain concerns required more than a few sessions, but usually, the acupuncture had either reduced my initial pain significantly and/or helped me rehab faster, sometimes in conjunction with physical therapy or regular medical treatments. Chantelle and her husband Andy, who helps runs the business side of her practice have always been great. Her office has many topical pain relief creams, herbal supplements, CBD products, vitamins, and other stuff which Chantelle can recommend using in addition for you particular issues. Her office waiting room is very calming, as are all their rooms which she performs her acupuncture in. They're all very clean and comfortable. Parking is rarely an issue. Her office hours range from early AM to late PM depending on the day of the week, so you should be able to book appointments which suit your availability fairly easily. Unfortunately, Chantelle no longer accepts my holistic health insurance which my health plan offered, and I will regrettably need to find an alternative acupuncturist who accepts my insurance. I can't justify paying more than my co-payment, when there are other acupuncture practitioners who accept my insurance and are located even closer to home. But, I wanted to post how great my experience Chantelle has been while treating my numerous ailments for so long. If you're looking for any acupuncturist in the Mission Valley area, she'd be the first one I'd schedule a visit with without a reservation. Chantelle is definitely top notch, and I'll miss going to her greatly. read more

If you're wondering if you should go to Meridian or not - GO! Chantelle is amazing. I was in a car accident and injured my back. I experienced ZERO improvement for over a year (I was being treated by Kaiser and a sports rehab place I won't name). I had tried four other acupuncturists with no results (although the treatments were relaxing!). I gave Meridian a try simply because it was a couple of blocks away from my work, and I was at the point of - why not, I'll try ANYTHING to feel even a tiny bit better. Since I had already tried four other acupuncturists, I was not expecting much. Chantelle took the time to understand my injury, and all the other problems that followed from being in pain for so long. Her acupuncture/massage WORKED. She was able to get my pain level to a point where I could begin exercising again, which was crucial for rehabbing my injury. My sleep was also greatly improved after beginning treatment at Meridian. If you've been in pain for a long time, you know how it affects every aspect of your life, and how bad it is! Merdian worked for me. Seriously, do it. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chantelle. I have been seeing her for the past 2 years after meeting her as a client at my spa. We connected right away, and once I had my first acupuncture experience with her I've been a believer ever since!

I went in today for my first time to see Chantelle at Meridian Acupuncture and I am just blown away. I have had a locked sacroiliac joint in my hip for almost a year and today within 30 minutes Chantelle unlocked it. I feel like a new person.

Their customer service is also hands down superb and real!! read more

My first experience with acupuncture was with Chantelle and Meridian, and it was AMAZING! Chantelle is bubbly, friendly, VERY knowledgeable and makes you feel instantly comfortable. Her office is clean, welcoming and conveniently located. Beyond acupuncture, Chantelle gives excellent basic, everyday nutrition tips to every patient. I have been suffering from hip pain for almost 6 weeks now, and despite daily stretching and many visits to the chiropractor, the relief I felt was always temporary, lasting a couple hours max. After just one visit with Chantelle, I've noticed a drastic reduction in hip pain that has remained since my visit. I only wish I had gone to seen her sooner! read more

I have been very overdue to come and see Chantelle for an acupuncture treatment and finally went and it was terrific. This particular treatment was for labor induction. I am currently 9 months pregnant and very anxious for this baby to come out.

I have used acupuncture before and truly recommend Chantelle she is professional, knowledgable and the sweetest. Thank you Chantelle! read more

I think Chantelle is amazing. I hate needles and would not go to an Acupuncturist until I had no choice because I was in such pain. She has mastered her skill so much I never feel the needles. So if you are as nervous about needles as I was, Chantelle is the person you want to see. She has now helped me with back pain and a frozen shoulder. read more

I still cannot believe how much acupuncture has changed my life. I used to get debilitating migraines at least 2-3 times a month.

She is so knowledgeable, so sweet, and makes you feel very comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about Chantelle and the change she has made in my life. read more

I went to her originally for back pain and through the years she helped me go through menopause without hormones, has treated my sciatica, and now I see her for tune ups to keep my body in balance.

Chantelle DeShazer is one of the most kind and compassionate healers I have ever known. She really listens to her patients and makes herself available to you for help, even in the off hours. Her front office staff are friendly and quick to address any questions you may have. Her assistants in the back are well-trained and add a nice touch to removing the needles - a quick head or neck massage! It doesn't get much nicer than this. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Chantelle is wonderful! She is knowledgeable, gentle and compassionate. She takes the fear factor out of acupuncture by listening to you and explaining everything she's doing. I've recommended her to friends who had never been to acupuncture and they've been extremely happy. She treats the whole person, Chantelle has also helped me with my eating habits. I've never had weight challenges, but she helped me make small changes in my eating that have made big changes in my vitality. I didn't have to change my whole life or invest a whole bunch of money; just made a few small changes. I would recommend Chantelle to anyone. And she's located right in the middle of San Diego off of Texas Street on Camino del Rio South. She's not hard to locate and there's plenty of free parking. read more
