I finally have a website! Check it out at www.avidaacupuncture.com. THANK YOU to Kim Blake of Alpha Webworks for my amazing professional website, Kate Murray Photography for capturing the serene photos for my site, Jody Jarrett and Christina Howell for being my amazing models, and all the input from my dear friends, especially Elena Min! #finallylegit #grateful

Thank you Kate Murray for these amazing photos! You are so talented!

I was shocked to learn of the dangers of CT scans and that most patients are not informed of these risks prior to getting them done. About a third of these scans are unnecessary and are only done to protect doctors against litigation. I hope this video helps you all in making more informed medical decisions for yourselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ3Gh7a-FVQ

Did you know? Low back surgeries are not proven effective and can cause more pain due to the resulting scar tissue among other serious complications. Why not try acupuncture for your back pain instead? It's safe and is much cheaper than shelling out $100,000 for the surgery.

We are so happy to introduce a talented new massage therapist, Christina Howell, to the Avida Center family. She is skilled in the following types of massage: circulatory, swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and Chi Nei Tsung, which is a gentle abdominal massage that enhances the function of the abdominal organs. For the next 3 months (until April), 1 hour massages with Christina will be $50. So come on in if you are in need of relaxation and pain relief. Call 619-890-8071 to schedule your massage.

Happy new year everyone! Traci and I hope you all had the warmest of holidays surrounded by those you love. We are so very grateful that you trust us to help you relieve your aches and pains. We would like to introduce a new amazing acupuncturist and herbalist, Marlene Vong, who has joined our practice. She is available on Thursdays and Fridays from 2-5pm if you are in need. Happy 2016 to you all!

5 years ago, the Universe brought Traci Derr to Avida Center via a Craig's List job posting. All I was looking for was a decent massage therapist. What I got was so much more than I ever expected and everything that Avida Center needed. Thank you Traci for all that you do for me and for Avida Center! Love you lady!!!

Wishing you all the happiest of holidays!

Just wanted to share this informative article clarifying good vs. bad fats. Saturated fat is not the enemy as long as it is from organic sources. Avoid trans-fats and processed nut oils, which are found in processed foods. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-truth-about-saturated-fa

Yay! Thanks to the Affordable Healthcare Act, Acupuncture is an Essential Medical Benefit in California! Insurance companies will not advertise this, so check your plans for Acupuncture coverage. We all deserve affordable quality healthcare. Healthcare reform is a step in the right direction. I hope you all support it and help mold it to be the best healthcare in the world!
