    Where the complimentary world of Eastern and Western Medicine meet... For all intensive purposes, I consider myself a wholestic person. I believe that one needs to lead a life in balance. At various times, for various reasons we become mis-aligned, led astray and need to be re-aligned again and return back to homeostatis. Here at Living Stream Wellness, Eastern medicine modalties attempt this process. Ch'i or qi is the essential life force in Traditional Chinese medicine. Known as ki in Japanese, gi in Korean, and khi in Vietnamese cultures respectively. Chinese herbs, acupuncture and mind/body healing arts are brought together to encourage air, breathe and energy flow within to live fully. When Western approaches fail, many people turn to Eastern approaches. There may be a decision to choose a more natural means. Natural does not mean less potent though. Most medicine was established in ancient traditions and still today, many of these herbs have proven benefits in clinical trials for everything from insomnia to AIDS...all through the study of Materia Medica. Living Stream provides a group of talented individuals in TCM, who either teach, supervise or have studied at the Pacific School of Chinese Medicine. They market having one of the largest selections of Chinese Herbs in San Diego. They can convert their herbs to tablets while you wait to avoid brewing, or mixing your own concotions designed for your ailment. I have been introduced to both Vicky Lee, L.Ac the daughter of a physician and Brian Kuo, L.Ac. the founding director of Living Stream who both take great time listening and formulating ideas to help cients achieve their health goals. You can expect to enter an office with relaxing music and enjoy a cup of non-caffiene tea while you wait for your treatment. As a professionally trained massage therapist, I have studied fire cupping and love this technique. Individuals must be aware it will leave marks temporarily on the body, but this is temporary when applied appropriately. They also offer moxabustion. Both techniques may be applied to regular massage therapy or used as an add on treatment to acupunture or chinese herbs or independently. Healing comes from change, qi gets things moving... #LivingStreamWellness #Qikigikhi #ILoveFireCupping

    Yes, I love coming here! I have been fortunate to meet several of the staff as well as the caring owners. Everyone is passionate about what they do! Although I see Dr. Michelle, Dr. Brian makes sure to also give you a warm greeting. Whenever anyone asks about acupuncture, this is the only place I recommend. The facility is clean and very comfortable. If you're like me, you'll be sleeping through a treatment... even in the community room. If you are considering acupuncture treatment, this is the only place I go and recommend you do too!

    Dr. Brian uses tiny needle for my 2 years old. My daughter is comfortable with him.

    I found Living Stream Wellness based on all of their 5 star reviews and they have definitely exceeded my expectations! I had serious stiffness on my neck, and after my first visit with Dr. Brian Kuo, my symptoms were 95% gone. I felt so amazing when I left! Dr. Brian is very knowledgeable and he takes time to explain my symptoms and treatments he recommends. I also bring my 2 years old to see Brian, he is patient and friendly with my daughter. My daughter felt very comfortable with him. Emma, the front desk manager, is great as well. She has a friendly smile and great attitude. She always helps create schedule that accommodates my needs. Their clinic is very clean and comfortable. A plus is their self-served caffeine free hot tea at the lobby, you can sit and relax after your treatment. I see Dr. Brain very often recently to treat other physical issues. I see a noticeable difference in my overall health. My experience in the clinic is always enjoyable, so I would recommend this place highly to anyone that is looking for acupuncture treatment!

You get asked a few questions about your energy and what you want to focus on and then for acupuncture, they'll check your energy levels. After inserting the needles in, they leave you to it. No music or meditation or chants. Just you, and the car horns outside. I think that's where I'm a little disappointed. Other places I've been either give you one of the two and check in on you. I was just sorta left for I'm assuming was 30 minutes? There's no clocks so I lost track of time. Next few times I came, I was prepared to do some meditation on my own and really focus on my thoughts, breathing and healing. I have pretty decent insurance and so it only came out to about 20 bucks per session and at that price, it goes from a 3 star review to a 4 star. But without that, I could easily rate this a 3 star place. I'll be coming back for sure though. Every where else seems to have a wait list or they aren't as nice. Everyone is super nice. You wont find anyone not happy to be there.

I shouldn't be charged a fee bc they are not competent enough to figure out how to bill properly. That is their problem, not mine. They then said bc I made the appointment yesterday that it wasn't enough time to figure out how to bill. This is complete BS. If they couldn't figure it out, they could have and should have called the insurance and sorted it out before I got there for my appointment insteas of tryinf to figure it out while.i was there.

The family here is so sweet and you can tell they have an established relationship with their long term-customers. Inside, it is a very small shop, but don't let the size fool you, there's plenty different types of herbal medicine, spices, and Asian oils/balms to get. They sell little simple Asian snacks as well that you don't normally see often at the markets. This place would be gold if my grandma found out about it! Every year my grandma loves to gift Tiger balms/patches to our relatives and this place sells plenty of that all. There are different teas you could try out along with herbs and spices you can buy to make delicate Asian soups and desserts. A must stop by if you're into herbal/asian/holistic care. Customer service was great, very friendly people! I really enjoyed making a visit here and will come back for when I need more Tiger balm / lotions, etc.

    I called in to make a same day appointment for acupuncture (called around 10:45a on a Sunday for a…read more12p visit). I thought I would try it out since I have nothing to lose. I have accumulated neck, shoulder, and back pain with tendinitis over the years doing computer work along with having post partum anxiety and depression and have been taking western medicine for a couple of years now. Looking into eastern medicine seemed like a good alternative since looking at all the cons with western medicine was becoming too stressful in itself to be concerned about. When I walked in, I went to a gentleman that was by the medicine counter, thinking it was Dr. Wang. I later found out David was the pharmacist, if you will, of the store. He checked the pressure on both my wrists and gave me a diagnosis while I told him what was wrong with me. He told me my kidneys and liver were in poor condition, and he also asked to look at my tongue. He prescribed me 2 different pills to help with my organs in order to calm them down. David also looked at my eyes and said due to my kidneys being in a poor state, I had dark circles and it showed that I didn't get enough rest. Since he was separate from Dr. Wang's office, I paid him for the medicine first before getting a consultation with Dr. David spoke to Dr. Wang first, and then he introduced me to him. I told him I have PPO, and he had me fill out a form. He asked me what my ailments were, and had me circle areas on a diagram to locate where they were. He said that it was $20 for consultation, $60 for acupuncture, and an additional $20 for an Asian massage therapy. We went to the room and I was advised to be in my undergarments. I laid on my stomach, and we started with acupuncture; I was surprised there weren't many needles used. I believe there were only 2 needles on each forearm, 2 on my neck, and 2 on my back. I was told to rest for about 10-15 minutes. Quite honestly, I didn't feel anything change during or after. It didn't even feel like anything when the needles were inserted as well. After Dr. Wang took the needles out, we moved on to the massage. He advised that the pressure was going to be strong as it was "therapy" and not to be confused with feeling good; I told him I was all for it. He was NOT kidding. He located the knots that I had so many years of struggling with, and man, did he go to work. He had to take a break, and David helped out with my neck. He was NOT messing around either. David did some wizardry work with my neck and shoulders and I almost thought I was going to pass out from the pressure, so I had to keep reminding myself to breathe. Long story short, I feel rejuvenated AF. I will be a forever client so long as they will have me. Thank you, Dr. Wang and David, for your healing powers and sincere concern for your patients. I will be back in a month for the next appointment!

    Thank you to Dr. Vivian. She is kind, caring, compassionate. Many gratitudes that we have such…read morehealing hands in our community.
