I have been a customer here (intermittently) for over 10 years, and every time I go here, I wonder why I don't visit more often. The community healing area is clean, comfortable, and they have relaxing, music playing. It is a good alternative for someone looking for affordable acupuncture treatment. The owner, Marc, is fantastic. He doesn't just focus on the issue, but emotional aspects as well. They offer community, acupuncture, private, acupuncture with cupping, Massage, therapy, and more. They even take some insurances. I was surprised to find out they took my Sharp Health Plan! This will continue to be my go to place for acupuncture and healing read more

This place was recommended to me to help with my migraines. I never had accupuncture before or now I did not know very much about it. I look at accupuncture now as a form of self care as well as it helping with my migraines. You want the best nap of your life? Try accupuncture. I do feel like it is a little rushed when trying to explain or update the accupuncturist on your condition, but I get the idea. It's cheaper because they get you in and out. I would recommend doing a private session first and then doing the cheaper community sessions. read more

My first acupuncture experience, and so far, a great and rewarding experience. The business is on Oceanside's busy South Coast Highway. Once inside, it is quiet and calming. Everyone speaks in a whisper. I am fortunate to be working with William on my back and arm pains. He really knows his business, including anatomy, acupuncture, and complete healing. There are several beds and lounges inside, occupied by clients experiencing acupuncture treatments and quietly relaxing. OAM offers additional comfort and healing services, such as massage. Their pricing is very reasonable, with multiple visit packages. I can say acupuncture is painless and an effective treatment alternative. I have already experienced welcomed relief after two visits , and will be returning until my acupuncture and therapy have been a complete success. I highly recommend OAM - Ocean Acupuncture & Massage. read more

This place is Amazing! I struggle with Anxiety and Depression. Every single time I visit OAM I come out feeling like a new man! Mr. William is a master at his craft! I do the acupuncture with him. Doing this, has really really helped with those issues! Look up for yourself the benefits of acupuncture! This helps for alot of things! I 100% recommend Ocean Acupuncture & Massage! read more

Amazing acupuncture and massage studio with a zen peaceful vibe. The community acupuncture is not only affordable, but super healing. Have recently been seeing Marc for the past couple months and appreciate his calm energy and ability to interpret my feedback to his questions into focused healing with his acupuncture. After every session I feel so much better, more calm, less pain, and like some things got reset in my body. Have also recommended OAM to others who tell me they really like it there too, so please give them a try and hopefully you'll feel better too. read more

I came to Oceanside Acupuncture and Massage based on a friend's recommendation, who had a great experience getting a massage here. Located on Coast Highway in Oceanside, the place has a funky, eclectic vibe that makes it feel unique and cozy. They offer community acupuncture, where everyone gets treated in one big room by one person, which helps keep the costs lower. I went for a 90-minute massage with Chad, and let me tell you, it was the crème de la crème. Chad really knows his stuff, making sure the massage table was super comfy and warm, and giving me an incredible full-body deep tissue massage. At $130, it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

I will be back. Wonderful care and practitioners. It was my first time trying acupuncture, and I felt very taken care of as well as having all my questions answered. I will be back for sure. Wonderful staff, clean, great location, fair prices. read more

Got a massage based on a recommendation from a yoga friend, and wow, Chad was just wonderful! I have chronic shoulder and neck pain from some injuries and a herniated disc and he found the spots immediately. He was very skilled and gentle, while also having excellent strong hands! I feel SO much better and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! Thank you Chad! read more

Wow! Am I becoming a "Fan'ces" with my numerous review updates here? Omg! Normally with massages, I prefer a 2-finger death touch (or an elbow!) that really digs into tight muscles. At the gym even, I'm beyond the help of foam rollers... I straight-up use a 45-lb. metal bar to self-massage nowadays. However, when I need a more gentle touch, I come see Ben. He is unusual in that my other massage therapists all feel for knots, and he feels for where the blood flows different. He helps me with my TMJ, as he is excellent at cranial massage. This therapy also puts my neck in alignment since I hate being cracked there by a chiropractor, takes away headaches, and is such an amazing holistic approach to healing without pills. I put off writing this review, but I've been to him for massages off and on for years. He only works Fridays now, so I dutifully make my appointments well in advance. I learned this year, they do cupping. Though it's not as good as heated glass cups, it still gets my blood flowing. I absolutely love this place and will always keep it in rotation on my self-care days. read more

I wanted to share a recent win against back pain-- On September 25th, I had an appointment with Patricia, and she was nothing less than a miracle worker. After just one session, my intense sharp pain turned into a dull ache and then disappeared completely. The experience was life-changing. Initially, I struggled to lift my leg even a few inches while laying on my back, and after an hour of treatment, I could raise it a full 12 inches! The pain had been so severe that getting into and out of my car was a struggle, and the following day, I was able to get out of bed without any pain at all. read more

I never thought anything would ever help my pain the way that this has after only ONE appt I have scoliosis I am also a DA, and put a lot of work on my neck and back, this place is f*****g MAGICAL, I left my appointment feeling like a million bucks and I have 0 pain anywhere in my body, this has lasted 10x longer than the relief you will find after a massage. I recommend you book here asap read more

Everything is amazing. I go for a session at least once a week and I feel like it's helping my recovery from cancer immensely

I visited all three practitioners who used different points to treat the same condition I presented. Multiple times I showed Marc and William pictures of where a former acupuncturist achieved success in lowering my pain level. Neither would honor my request. I spent almost a year trying to achieve relief additional relief to no avail. Treatment is inexpensive compared to most acupuncture therapy. You get what you pay for. read more

Been going to OAM for 7 years. They always make me feel great and keep me healthy! I love the bedside manner as well.

My go to place for acupuncture. I like to go when William is working, he asks thorough questions about why you're coming in for acupuncture and then explains his needle placements as he goes. I've done both the communal and the private acupuncture and I definitely prefer the private one. They will even do some cupping on you sometimes if they feel you need it. Sometimes the communal space can be difficult to relax in with people coming in and out. But I usually can fully relax, and sometimes even fall asleep, in the private rooms. The communal sessions are really nice too especially for the price. It is located on coast highway so there are the occasional motorcyclists or loud people walking by but other than that this studio is amazing. I suffer from chronic pain and this place has definitely helped to ease it and make me feel better overall. read more

My experience was fabulous. Mark had a beautiful studio, serene and relaxing. I was on my third course of antibiotic for a sinus infection and about to give up. In less than an hour, I was healed!!! Thank you Mark for my lovely experience. It was magic!! read more

Went today for the first time and William was awesome. It was a little chilly but he covered me in a blanket for extra warmth. He explained everything to me thoroughly and with bamboo partitions you almost feel like you are in your own space. It was fantastic and I will be back soon. Great first time packages and great pricing all together. read more

First receiving community acupuncture today. I have been getting acupuncture for over 10 years but only in a private session. It was an amazing experience (I brought my husband and children to experience) - it was beautiful and relaxing. William was our practitioner and he was caring, informative and put my teenagers at ease. We are all grateful for the experience and look forward to many more! Thank you!! read more

Today my hubby tried it! I've been going for years!! It's the best. Nicest people work there and they know their stuff! Healed my shoulder here! Thank you! read more

I've been here a handful of time and each experience was different with different people, yet all wonderful! I started going to help induce labor and it worked!! Then yesterday went again for relaxation and William was friendly, thorough and hit all the right spots! Will definitely be buying a package and returning frequently!! Kombucha was delicious also! read more

Acupuncture treatment was excellent here. William Potter is very skilled. We went twice a week during our stay in Carlsbad this winter. Massage with Mark was wonderful, too. The environment is very warm and welcoming. read more

Affordable acupuncture, community style services. They were able to accommodate four of us within a couple of hours and honored our Groupon promo. The promo came with ear and heated lamp add-one. However, one of us didn't get the heated lamp. You sit in a community room on lounge chairs. It was relaxing but do keep in mind foot traffic to the restroom and the massage room. Once we passed the awkward humor of the acupuncturist and realized he was half kidding when he was responding - he explained the process thoroughly. read more

Ocean Acupuncture & Massage - Community Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Oceanside, California

Super legit. A friend was experiencing serious anxiety and tried out the acupuncture services. Very healing in a supportive, calming environment. read more

Miracle worker. That is the only word I can use. Acupuncture in the right hands is healing of a miraculous nature. And I can honestly say that this is the best place I've ever been. Having done it for over 30 years. It has helped myself and my wife more than any Western medicine. But always use Western medicine With Acupuncture. Don't be an idiot. LOL read more

This is my favorite accupuncture team in So Cal. Such a relaxing,comfortable place. Many times they have given me more relief than the UCSD accupuncurists. These folks are A+. Thank you William and Marc read more

Love this place! Reasonable price - Great service! William is the BEST! He was able to heel my plantar fasciitis read more

[ 5 ] - Friendly Service [ 5 ] - Pricing [ 5 ] - Location [ 5 ] - Services Absolutely best acupuncture place I have been too, and we need more like these around other states! This was the very first acupuncture location, I ever visited. Being new to the procedure, they welcome me with their warmest on boarding. Very informative staff, kind, CLEAN and efficient. They are knowledgeable and have you feeling better in no time. Been coming here for several years, and even though I live out of state, I do come here once a year when I come visit. First off, the pricing. The pricing is set off a community setting. Acupuncture can get expensive when you have a one on one sessions. Here because you are in an environment where there are others in the same room sharing the comfort of peace, the cost is more affordable. Every time I walk into the treatment area, I feel so much at ease, relived, and relaxed. They have calming music playing, they have blankets, pillows, comfortable reclining chairs where you are elevated to be in a completely elevated position. They have feet warmers if its too cold inside. The sound of the water fountain makes everything so much more relaxing. the inside decor is minimal, yet very intriguing. I call this place my little getaway meditation temple. They do their very best to keep the inside quiet and every time there is new people coming and going they whisper and try not to awaken the others. The building is separated by a door and wall from the front lobby. They accept card and cash form of payment. They offer other services here as well, Massages being one. Those would have a more private rooms. They also play these awesome bad-ass instruments that take your soul into another dimension. ( Certain days or special events of music) I mean I can keep going on and on about this place and I would give them 10 stars! There is parking on the side and also on the street, plan ahead to look for parking if you are going on a busy day. I usually would not have any wait time, but if you did it would be a long one. read more

My first visit was amazing, I'm recovering from a stroke, my nerves work, blessed my appendages working as designed. Can't wait to feel normal again. read more

Love the community acupuncture - I was in bad pain with a baker cyst on my knee/ had 2 sessions & now back at gym doing a full workout - even managing elliptical read more

Relaxing experience for my first time trying acupuncture. Excited to continue care here!

The owner and other practitioners are highly trained, kind, caring and proactive, Also, for acupuncture, you have a choice between Community (semi private) and Private so different price options are available. Many time frames are also available. FYI I have received many different treatments over a long period of time At Oceanside Acupuncture and Massage and highly recommend you visit. read more

Life-changing. The acupuncture service here is best in class and a truly life-changing experience. I've had treatment here for back pain and the healing provided through acupuncture and meditation is remarkable. Expert staff and space. Thank you! read more

I cannot say enough good things about OAM! I have only been there a few times (I should have gone and should go more) but it is pure magic! They really know what they are doing. I was honestly very skeptical of this. I had never had acupuncture before, and initially went because of a knee injury. My hairstylist recommend I go and see if it helped. To be honest, I am not sure if it helped my knee, but it extremely helped my hormonal balance! This might be tmi for some, but I have never had a regular cycle in my whole life. I also have PCOS and hypothyroid, and am a distance runner--all which have probably affected my body over the years. I was concerned about my fertility and gave them this information. Literally a week after my appt, my cycle started and was on time on the dot every month after. I really should go back, I just need to find the time! I really enjoyed working with both practitioners I saw as well. read more

I absolutely LOVE coming here. I found Ocean Acupuncture after my fertility specialist was wasting my time and money. I wanted to continue acupuncture and holistic healthcare for fertility. My first visit was with Patricia and I have stuck with her ever since. I learn so much every time I see her. She has helped me tremendously on my fertility health journey. I am so grateful to have found Ocean Acupuncture. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: Marc the owner took the time to not only respond but offer a refund for my service. I appreciate that he took my concern seriously and got back to me within hours of my review. Thanks Marc! I went here on my midwifes recommendation for labor induction. I got an spot right away and the ladies working were very nice and the price is also great. After getting my treatment I have to wonder if that's why they charge so little. I've had acupuncture in the past and I couldn't even feel the needles. This time on the other hand, it was SO painful. I also didn't see the little tube guards being used to control the depth. 3 of the needles placed in my wrist were very, very deep and painful. My hand and wrist felt like it had a Charlie horse all day after I left. There were also points in my ankle that ached all day after the treatment. I've also never heard of acupuncture causing bleeding but I bled in two sites and I now have a bruise on my wrist. It was recommended by the therapist I come back the next day to do the induction points again but it was honestly so painful I'm scared to go back. I'll just let nature do its thing, my baby will come when she's ready. I'll also note I purchased the 3 for $49 treatment package before my session but I definitely won't be going back so they can keep those other two sessions. read more

Thank you so much, Mark! I came in once for a private acupuncture and cupping session while visiting family for two weeks. Wish I could have come twice a week the entire visit: I was so relaxed and refreshed after a lot of travelling stress, anxiety and busyness. It was so nice to have this appointment while on vacation and away from my acupuncture treatments at home. I truly appreciate your care and the space you have created in Oceanside...so restorative. read more

Update: a day after the acupuncture session I had a lot of pain in my foot where the needle was inserted. Since then it has only gotten worse. It is EXTREMELY painful if I bend my toes, touch it the wrong way or sit crossed legged. I have an appointment with a dr to see what's going on since it's getting unbearable read more

I arrived at Ocean Acupuncture with a really bad back ache, and sciatica as well. Patricia did such a great job with her acupuncture skills, that I walked out of there without pain. Today is Day 3 and I have very little pain. I will definitely return if needed. read more

I wish more places like this, making acupunture accessible for treatment and healing. Could not get my energy back after covid flu and one session did the trick with some herbs to follow up. Thank you for your service to our community- so excited to go back to your sound healing sessions with the community acupuncture. read more

Fantastic place! Great acupuncturists at a great price. Love that they're open seven days a week and no appointment is needed. I also appreciate that they do not rush people out of there and let us relax for a good long while and let the needles do their thing! After a really bad rear-end collision and severe back pain, this place was a total blessing! Give the place a try on a Wednesday evening too, if you want to experience the sound healing. I know music and vibration can be healing, but I really was surprised at how healing it felt. I felt so wonderful after the sound healing the couple of times I went. read more
