I couldn't sit, I couldn't lay down and my lower back and my entire lower abdomen was locked up. I was relying on pain management for over a week with no clear answers. I even went to my trusted chiropractor but got zero relief. I had heard acupuncture could help and at that point I was willing to try anything. I found Cai on Yelp and got in same day to see her. She assessed me and figured out my pain wasn't stemming from a joint, which is what everyone else thought. She identified two muscles that had been strained and went to work for 2 hours, with needles on both my front and my back. In one session my pain is 90% gone and I'm totally amazed at how much better I feel. She has made me a believer and I will now be back any time I need some relief. Thank you so much Cai

Suffered two years with a left frozen shoulder. To avoid surgery, I opted for six weeks of physical…read moretherapy followed by water therapy and stretching at home with Yoga. Still had a 4" deficit when I raised both arms up above my head - I just could not get the mobility and so I looked for an excellent acupuncturist. After three sessions of acupuncture, I can say that my mobility has returned. I'm continuing to do the stretches that she taught me. I have also augmented my treatment with Cai with massage and a red light therapy shoulder harness that I purchased on Amazon. Highly recommend acupuncture with Cai's Clinic of Acupuncture if you are starting to suffer from frozen shoulders due to hormonal changes; I am 63 and I know that's what caused my frozen shoulder. If my right shoulder starts acting up I know where to go! I have recommended Cai to another frozen shoulder sufferer and she also found immediate relief from just one treatment. She is also continuing the stretching and heat compresses.

Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves! I am so grateful for her work and feel lucky to have such a skilled and compassionate practitioner here in North County, my village :) :) Highly recommend!

My experience with Dr. Tsai was in 2017. Prior to seeing Dr. Tsai I had reoccurring hives that…read morestarted on my upper arms - they'd appear everyday for an hr & subside. I used histamines; but in spite of that, they soon progressed to my lower arms, the back of my thighs, then all over my body. They'd occur more often lasting longer periods, sometimes in the middle of the night. I tried baking soda baths among other remedies, but nothing worked, and I felt desperate for relief! Chinese medicine is known to cure the root cause, and not just simply treat symptoms; my search lead me here. Dr. Tsai did tell me the first week would be difficult, as the symptoms would express even more in the process of purging. That happened. Over the course of 6 months I visited weekly or biweekly. In that period, I had 3 different prescriptions of Chinese herbal medicine, that I'd brew to take 3 times a day. (I will say after a month and a half I had no more hive breakouts.) The medicine is no cake walk, but I wanted to never experience another breakout so I stayed the course. I can say I've never had one to this day. Dr. Tsai's skills and bedside manners are impeccable! I've mentioned him to friends over the years in conversation, even after moving out of CA. Preface, I've never left a review for anything, I'm leaving this now because I've always wanted to; and I've just come off conversing/recommending him again to a family acquaintance that lives in CA. I remain so appreciative of his care!

Dr. Liao is a very intuitive holistic care provider. I have been working with her for over ten…read moreyears and have nothing but excellent feedback concerning her care of my health. I have been treated for all kinds of things from menstrual challenges, car accident pain, GERD/Acid Reflux, to my auto-immune issue (AA). One of the things that I appreciate about Dr. Liao's holistic approach is that unlike western medicine doctors who primarily treat symptoms, Dr. Liao works to identify the cause of symptoms and fix the problem. I think that her prices are reasonable because her treatment is effective. An example of her efficacy: my Primary Care Physician had diagnosed me with GERD and planned for me to take Prilosec ($25/box) for the rest of my life. I received acupuncture and guidance from Dr. Liao and within 3 months, I had minimal symptoms and did not need any medication. Within 6 months, I no longer had any symptoms. I know many other people who have had the same diagnosis and have spent over 10 years using acid inhibitor drugs. Another example: I had been experiencing a high level of fatigue for years. I had seen several different doctors, and the only thing that any of the doctor's could come up with was that I might have had mono. I was tested repeatedly, and when the tests came back negative month after month, I received no medical treatment. The day I met Dr. Liao, she gave me a visual inspection, and asked me several questions. After our 5 minute visit, she gave me a few simple dietary restrictions and one bottle of herbs. Within 2 days, I felt like a different person with normal energy levels. I never had that issue again. What can I say . . . her office is clean, she is a great communicator, and her acupuncture and herbs have both been very effective in helping me. I would give Dr. Liao my highest recommendation.

Marion of Carlsbad Holistic Therapies has MAGICAL hands. In addition to having worked with her as…read moremy guide for nutritional therapy over the years, I reached out to her again after having my first child almost 2 years ago when my body was completely out of whack. I had chronic pains in my back and shoulders and was frustrated at my inability to heal. I began visiting her once per month for deep tissue massage with cupping, and slowly but surely I have been able to heal. Both my husband and I have a regularly-scheduled monthly session and could not survive life without it! My parents and family friends have also visited her regularly over the years; she is indispensable to our health and well-being regimen. Her office is impeccably clean and tidy. In fact, the environment is aesthically calming in its zen-like simplicity. There is soothing music and revitalizing essential oils diffusing through the air. The table is always warm, the bedding cozy and comfortable, and her technique is consistently healing and thorough. I especially appreciate that even though I see her regularly, she always takes great care at the beginning of each session to check in with me and diagnose her treatment plan for the hour based on how I am feeling. Sometimes she uses the cups, which are very effective. Other times the session is much less intense and I have to peel myself off the table after having such a relaxing treatment. Her approach is customized and truly holistic each time. She helps to heal from the inside out with both massage and nutrition, which is rare amongst masseuses. As a person, Marion is kind, grounded, calm and peaceful, and this comes through in her massage energy, which makes a remarkable impact when receiving such touch therapy. I am so grateful for Marion and the service she provides. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
