Dr. Adam is incredible! I can't recommend him highly enough! I wish I could visit him regularly, but I don't live in Northern California. I found him on my insurance provider list, as I was prepping for my trip to San Francisco for my first ever Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim! I was really excited about the race and had trained for months, incorporating regular treatments from my local acupuncturist in West LA, when three weeks before the swim I got hit with Covid. It was a rough nine days before I was finally negative, and even then the symptoms stubbornly persisted. I felt weaker and my head was foggy--I worried I wouldn't have the energy, strength, and stamina to compete. Still, I didn't want to give up--it meant a lot to me to finish this race. I knew my best bet would be to get one last treatment the day before the race. Fortunately, Dr. Adam had availability at the ideal time & place for me! His treatment was thorough and effective, incorporating cupping, acupuncture, acupressure, and a little massage. I felt so much better afterwards and felt fantastic for the big swim the next day, which I not only completed successfully, but thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks to Dr. Adam, I completed my bucket list dream swim! Now I look forward to participating every year--and will definitely be getting a treatment from Dr. Adam to be in prime shape for it! read more

I have been coming to Dr. Adam for a little over a month and have been really happy with the results. I had a lot of stress going on in my life and it really helped me relax. Dr. Adam is extremely nice. I have been to other places before and he is by far the most experienced. His office is very calming and cozy (not as commercial like other places). I definitely recommend him to anyone seeking acupuncture. read more

I was recently recommended to Adam for acute shoulder pain and immobility. The positive results were almost immediate and remarkable. After one visit I was able to sleep again, and after only two sessions, I had regained functional use of the shoulder. Adam is very professional and capable and I am happy to offer my highest recommendations for his service. read more

From the beginning Adam jumped to a faulty diagnosis, with very little input from me, that was far fetched at best and costly (treated me over 10 sessions based on the misdiagnosis). Also persuaded me to buy expensive Chinese medicines that did nothing but give me bad stomach cramps. It was only later, with the help of a physician and physical therapist, that I got the proper care. I'm giving 2 stars only because the sessions provided a break from work in a calm environment and Adam has good bedside manners. read more

I have been using Adam's services for several years (for allergies and respiratory issues), and have found him to be a very caring, diligent, and competent acupuncturist and herbalist. A few years back, he picked up on a health issue my internist had missed, and which would have become very serious if not treated. His new office is very pleasant, soothing, and conveniently located. read more

I came to see Dr. Adam after hearing great things about him, and the acupuncture in general. I haven't tried it before, but I knew I had nothing to lose (besides my lower back pain). In addition to my postpartum low back pain, I was going through some stressful transitions in my life. As soon as I came into Adam's office, I felt like I am in a safe place with someone I can trust. Not only my low back felt amazing after my first visit, but I also felt very relaxed and stress-free. It must be a combination of Adam's professionalism, his peaceful and reassuring presence, and a clean, beautiful office with lots of green plants. Unfortunately I moved out of the Bay Area, but even the few weeks that I saw Adam made my life much better and pain-free! read more

I was new to acupuncture / acupressure and have been working with Dr Adam Wiscomb who has been great!!! He relieved my lower back pain. He also has removed my foot pains and sensations - literally bringing my feet back to life so walking is no longer an issue. He is improving my sleep and has already relieved my nervous leg syndrome (a big help!) His knowledge and compassionate approach made it easy to build a great rapport. Since we have been so successful, we continue to work to improve my health in other areas. I highly recommend Dr. Adam! read more

I've been going to Dr. Adam since 2018 and I've never felt so great. He has treated my headaches, sleep problems, and most of all helped me with fertility treatment. I see him every week and it's been wonderful. I have less headaches and I've been able to sleep better. I was afraid to try acupuncture because of needles but he immediately eased my fears. He is very light with his hands and firm if needed with other treatments such as muscle aches and pains. I was able to conceive with his treatment and my son is now 8 mos old! I strongly believe he has contributed to my conception with his treatment. Dr. Adam is the most pleasant and very attentive doctor. He is personable and professional. I've recommended him to my friends and colleagues also. I highly recommend him. read more

I've been going to see Dr. Adam Wiscomb off-and-on for seven years. Anytime I have an ache or ailment, he is the one I turn to. His technique truly works, and I often find relief after even 1 session! He does cupping and acupressure too. His demeanor is great, and I always feel comfortable and well taken care of. I would recommend anyone looking for an acupuncturist to go see Dr Adam ASAP. read more

I have been seeing Adam for many years! He's worked with me on a variety of issues related to stress, tight shoulders & back pain. Most recently I went in with a really tight back which was limiting my mobility. After the 1st session my range of motion improved significantly & post 2nd session I was back to normal : ) I highly recommend his services if you're looking for a very knowledgeable, compassionate acupuncturist. read more

I have been going to Adam for over a year. I have found him helpful for PMS and neck pain. I leave feeling like a million bucks! He really helps with stress reduction too. read more

After a year of no treatment due to the Pandemic and recently moving to SF, I made an appointment to see Dr. Adam. My shoulders and neck were a mess - I had pain turning my head one direction. After a few sessions with Dr. Adam my mobility greatly increased and pain was significantly diminished. I would recommend his services to anyone, especially those with an active lifestyle or pain management issues. read more

Dr. Wiscomb is THE BEST. I have seen my fair share of acupuncturist and he is hands down the best one. He has a really unique approach and each visit is ended with acupressure. He has helped me immensely with my back, neck and shoulder pain. He is extremely friendly and personable and his clinic is very clean and comfortable. If you're looking for an acupuncturist then he is a must! read more

Dr Adam is a professional, compassionate and understanding acupuncturist who listens to your needs and has helped me greatly with sleep and other ailments. The office is very peaceful and clean, each session is relaxing and I look forward to my appointments. For those who may be hesitant to try acupuncture, I highly recommend Dr Adam As he explains each step, the points and what they relate to, and he has an abundance of patience. read more

I have chronic back problems, and I was out of town traveling when I could barely walk and Adam totally bailed me out and answered the phone when technically not open yet. He saw me the same day and I was able to get in working shape right out of there. I've seen a lot of people over the years and Adam is definitely one of the best. Thank you for helping me out on my trip, not sure how I could have gotten through it otherwise. read more

You'll be in good hands with Dr. Adam (no pun intended) whether this is your first visit to an acupuncturist or your 100th. He is compassionate, professional and knowledgeable in acupuncture and acupressure techniques as well as herbal medicine. My first visit to Dr. Adam was for a horrible sinus infection that wouldn't go away, even after 3 weeks of traditional medicine and antibiotics. I saw Dr. Adam on a Friday afternoon for an acupuncture treatment. I began taking the recommended herbal medicine that afternoon and by Monday morning I was feeling significantly better. Within a week my sinus infections symptoms were completely gone. From that time forward, Dr. Adam became my first line of defense any time I wasn't feeling well. Dr. Adam's office is soothing and quiet and he'll make you feel at ease and relaxed. I looked forward to all of my visits, despite not feeling well, as I knew I would leave his office feeling relaxed, revived and on my way to better health. read more

Adam is amazing! He helps me greatly to manage stress and migraines. I look forward to his sessions every week. The feeling after coming out is not easy to explain with words. He can treat all kinds of problems with acupuncture. I highly recommend going to him to find alternate treatments that requires no prescription drugs with harsh side effects. You can even do some guided meditation with the session for even better results! read more

After struggling with a Morton's Neuroma for over a year (and visiting a particular quack podiatrist in SF who happened to make it worse), I decided to try acupuncture as a potential path of treatment. I was blown away after my first treatment. Adam started with an in-depth assessment/interview of my symptoms, pain levels / type / areas, and my history with treating the neuroma. He was able to place points that immediately alleviated the pain and inflammation in my foot - after each point, I experienced significant relief. I've been continuing treatment with Adam 1 - 2 times a week since then, and I honestly don't believe that any other treatment or practitioner could have had as much success with treating my neuroma as Adam has. Being able to be active on my feet again has meant so much to me, and I have only Adam to thank for getting me back to a happier place. I also decided that I wanted help with smoking cessation and looked to acupuncture as a supplementary aid. Adam coached me through the process even beyond the acupuncture. He gave me tips for how to rid my home/life of negative influences and even referred me to a hypno-therapist that ultimately helped with getting me to commit to quitting. The acupuncture helped with the dreaded detoxification, and he even put in acupressure points while I went on vacation so I could continue treatment from abroad. I'm proud to say I've been smoke free for 31 days and counting! In addition to my various treatments, Adam has a wonderful demeanor and beside manner. I definitely look forward to each appointment, as I know that I'm in great hands, and the benefits of the treatment are always immediate and sustaining. Highly, highly recommend! read more

There's no doubt that if it's acupuncture you're seeking, Adam is the one and only answer. His interest and wisdom are 100% genuine, his skill and care are like none other. He's particularly well-equipped to treat the whole person, to take your immediate concerns seriously, work through those to achieve optimum overall health in the long run. Adam is serious, committed, caring, and he'll have you back to your best self in no time. I came to Adam initially for chronic back and wrist pain, which subsided after about 4 sessions. I look forward to visiting Adam again and again in the future for all my health concerns. read more

I injured my back playing volleyball back in high school and every few years I'll do something to tweak it again. Recently it happened and I went to Adam based on his Yelp reviews. Adam found the spasms and educated me on how my muscles were spasming to protect the old injury, thus causing discomfort with the nerve. 2 treatments later and I was able to put my own socks on and walk to work pain free. Hopefully I won't have any more issues in the future but if I do I'll be sure to pay Adam a visit. read more

Acupuncture is bunk. Why would I ever want to go for treatment? It might work for some people, but I am skeptical. Then I got carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists. It was extremely painful to type on the computer keyboard (which is necessary to do my job). A friend recommended I visit Adam Wiscomb at Middle Path Acupuncture Clinic. And to make a long story short, I went. Well, my opinions about acupuncture are changed. My pain is gone and it turns out that Adam is a joy to visit. He makes you feel you are the most important person in the world when he is with you. He focuses all of his attention on you and your symptoms. Then, in the treatment session, he helps you relax and let the treatment work. Now I say "acupuncture works!" and recommend it to all my friends. Adam is the best! read more

Adam helped me deal with my recurring ankle issues. In summary, he is conscientious, combines his EXCELLENT knowledge of human physiology with eastern medicine, cares about his patients who he treats like CLIENTS, and most importantly, isn't afraid to look something up if he needs to. Unlike almost every doctor I've ever been to, Adam follows up, has a convenient scheduling system and does his best to accommodate your busy schedule. He takes care of the insurance for you and doesn't surprise you with charges you don't recognize later. If your western Doc isn't cutting it, give Adam a try, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. read more

Adam is great. This was my first experience using acupuncture, I had had a lot of trouble healing an Achilles tendon post surgery. My PT suggested I try acupuncture after the Dr. gave me a 50/50 chance at full recovery. Adam worked some magic and now my tendon is doing better than before and is almost at full recovery. I strongly recommend him and also acupuncture in general. read more

I threw out my back from lifting my five-month old and could barely move. Thankfully, a neighbor recommended I see Dr. Wiscomb. After one session, I felt 80% better but I kept doing what I had been doing (e.g, sitting too much, not stretching as much as I should) and the pain came roaring back. After another visit, Dr. Wiscomb was able to immediately alleviate the severe pain so I could function and I'm now following his post-care advice more diligently and feeling nearly as good as new! Dr. Wiscomb was also incredibly kind to check in with me to see how I was feeling. If you have severe pain, I recommend making an appointment right away so you can begin to heal! read more

Fall 2007 was an incredibly stressful time for me. I was overloaded at work, had a travel schedule from hell, and was working through some personal drama. As a result I ended up with severe acne of biblical proportions. Therefore, I was more stressed leading to more acne. Yes, it was bad. Cut to Adam Wiscomb.....a good friend recommended that I visit Adam given his experience in treating digestive ailments through acupuncture. At first I was hesitant, but since my goofy deramtologist's medication wasn't doing jack I thought it was worth a shot to visit Adam. I'm so glad I did. Adam is an incredibly patient and compassionate acupuncturist; he was very concerned about my well-being and helped me understand the brass tacks without overwhelming me. He was able to diagnose my problem soon and recommended a major overhaul of my diet, changes to my skincare regimen, and some Chinese herbal medication all of which expedited my recovery. He was willing to work with me on my pace, was very flexible and understanding given my tempestuous work schedule, and was able to put me to sleep with needles all over my body -- I don't care what anybody says, this shit works. It took a few months to see results, but I am happy to say that I'm now acne-free, happy and I owe it to Adam. I would marry him if I could, but he is straight and taken. Story of my life. I've been raving about Adam Wiscomb to anybody that will listen to me. Listen to me, stop looking now. Go to Adam! read more

I enjoy working with Adam, not only because he is a very pleasant person, but because he listens intently to what you tell him and then he listens deeply to your pulses ( actually even more dedicatedly than any other acupuncturist has ever done before) and then he has knowledge and capability to treat your issues and symptoms accordingly. He has a clarity about his energy that allows him to be very effective in his work...and I highly recommend his services! read more

Adam is a great acupuncturist. I've seen him for a number of different issues. Adam's always listened, asked lots of questions and spent a lot of time with me. He'd follow up a few days later to see how things are going. I had a problem that my doctor wanted to put me on another pill. I really didn't want another pill, so I gave Adam a shot. After a few sessions with Adam, no more problem, no expensive meds. Good bed side manner, and it doesn't hurt a bit. read more

When it comes to accupuncture I've had a range of experiences; some mediocre, some bad... I was at the point I was done with accupuncture, but it wasn't to be. I had shoulder surgery in December and was going through physical therapy when one of my colleagues told me about Adam; I was highly sceptical but she had nothing but good things to say about him, so I scheduled an appointment. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I saw him for about 6 weeks and I am still amazed at how much quicker my recovery has been as a result of our sessions. My range of motion has increased significantly and the pain has lessened. Adam has this calm, reassuring way about him, he is attentive and, most importantly, he's happy to answer any questions about what he is doing and why... and I do ask a lot of questions... read more

I was referred to Adam a few years ago, when his office was located in the Mission. It was not a convenient location for me, so I was thrilled to find out that he had relocated to the downtown area. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate acupuncturist, Adam is a must see. I originally went to see him for a pulled hamstring and and added other issues over time (insomnia, stress and back pain). I am not a simple case and would often arrive at his office in a highly stressed out state. Poor Adam. He was unfailingly patient with me and his excellent bedside manner I'm sure is appreciated by all his patients. Very few practitioners have the time or energy to tune into each patient the way Adam does and it is a true gift. He even plays Beatles tunes for me to keep me awake, so I don't fall asleep during the session and experience insomnia as a result. That's great service! My summary? I highly recommend Adam Wiscomb. read more

Absolutely love Adam's unique approach. Will be back every time I'm in the city! Accupuncture & acupressure session - perfect combo!

I came to see Adam in September of 2009 because I was having terrible back problems, due to a relapsed /previous injury. I was just beginning my second year of graduate school, and was considering the possibility of having to drop out to avoid permanent damage to my body. I did not see how it would be possible for my injury to heal while working the 80-90 hour work weeks that my coursework demanded. Adam's treatments were VERY effective and helped me get through a seemingly impossible time. For three months following my first visit I saw him an average of once a week. After our sessions, the muscles of my back became loose and supple to allow for healing and re-strengthening. Going into my spring semester, the pain I experience has gone from debilitating to almost un-noticable. I am now on my own program for back health (yoga and swimming) and will come to see him occasionally for maintenance. I would recommend Adam to anyone for nearly any health issue. He is a truly gifted healer. In the presence of Adam, you get the feeling that he finds great purpose and fulfillment in his practice. The quality of his care is exceptional. read more

I have been seeing Adam for a little over a year for a variety of issues and have been very happy with my treatment during this time. Adam always takes the time to sit down with me and talk through any issues and is happy to answer all of the many questions I always have. Depending on how I say I am feeling Adam comes up with a plan for how to treat me and I always look forward to my 45 minute break mid day. Without fail I fall asleep and have a relaxing nap that leaves me with in state of deep relaxation. I have been feeling so much better since I started visiting Adam and look forward to my appointment all week! I highly recommend Adam if you are considering acupuncture! read more

Dr Wiscomb is a miracle worker. I brought him my neck and shoulders, siezed in pain for some days. I could barely move or think. I'd tried massage, chiropractic, hot baths, CBD--all failed. He worked his careful wonders, and when I lay to rest that night, I could feel the muscles releasing and re-enlivening. The next morning, I was renewed. Thank you, Doctor. read more

I've been to Adam on multiple occasions, not because I was in pain or feeling ill, but because I was feeling stressed.. a lot of stress. The marvelous thing about Adam is how calm and reassuring he is. When you walk in, you feel a very peaceful environment and begin to relax and let the outside world fade away. Adam's professionalism is truly top notch. You are treated with the utmost respect and consideration for your privacy. You will feel a perfect sense of trust with Adam right away. This is really important to me, and I am sure it is for many others as well. Adam is very caring and totally attuned to you during your session. After his treatment, I felt totally relaxed and calm, with all the prior stress melted away! I wish I could have a treatment evey day with Adam! I recommend Adam to all my friends frequently. And I will be seeing him for many more stress relieving treatments in the future. It's better than a two hour massage.. and much less expensive! read more

Adam Wiscomb, LAc., has been treating me for over a year. He has become my primary care physician, and I see him for everything! He has helped with my allergies, intestinal problems, blood pressure, and a paralyzed wrist! Not only does he know acupuncture and herbal medicine, but his skills at reading pulse are amazing. He can always tell if I have been eating too much wheat, or am stressed out about anything. His calm, caring attitude and ability to explain everything well makes me feel well cared for. And my good overall health is the result! Please visit Middle Path Acupuncture clinic for all of your health needs! read more

I have a very active mind. The 30 minutes a week I spend stretched out on the table at Middlepath Acupuncture Clinic are literally changing the way I approach mental health. With needles in place, soothing music playing in the background, I am engaging my body's innate ability to find balance and wellness. As a member of Healthy San Francisco, my visits are completely covered. Adam and I have laid out a 3 month plan of weekly visits to target several health issues, and after only two treatments, I am already feeling more aligned and empowered. Adam represents a new breed of enlightened health practitioners: patient, kind, unhurried, loving, and genuine. I especially recommend his services to anyone involved in the hospitality industry. High stress, late nights, heavy drinking and drugging will take its toll on your health. Acupuncture is a safe and affordable healing modality that can gently bring you back to center. read more

The absolute best. I had been to another acupuncturist, but I didn't really understand the benefits until I came here. I started coming here for stomach and sleep issues and discovered there are all sorts of things Adam and acupuncture can help with. Now I am pregnant and Adam is helping with all that comes with pregnancy, morning sickness, headaches and even severe SI joint pain. I was in tears after my last visit because I was so grateful he was able to help. Give this a go, you won't regret it. read more

I first saw Adam two years ago. He helped me some allergy and sleep issues. Recently I saw him for a "frozen" shoulder. I'm 57 and have played sports my whole life. When I went to Adam 6 weeks ago I could not raise my left arm above my shoulder, and the arm would not go behind my back. After 7 treatments I have full range of motion. I can play golf or softball without pain! Adam has a great attitude about life and is very easy to talk to. He is well versed in Chinese herbs and he understands Western medicine too. I will definitely be back to see Adam, in fact I think of him as my primary care physician. read more

There I was, flat on my back since Friday afternoon, suffering with bad lower back pain. Armed only with Percacet, some perscription anti-inflamatories, muscle balm laced with THC, ice packs, in short everything one tries when one finds oneself in that situation, all to little or no avail! I was at the point where a dull ache was better than a sharp pain but still miserable none-the-less. It was so painful I felt the need to cancel my initial session with Dr. Adam on Monday. That's when the miracle happened, or at least started to happen. He suggested a house call, no your eyes are not deceiving you, he came to my place! Good thing I was already lying down or I would have passed out! After some initial paperwork, questions, poking, prodding he inserted needles into my feet and hands. I know, what the hell do needles in my extremities have to do with my back? Well, as it turned out, lots! Within minutes the pain was gone, within an hour I was able to sit up and walk around and today I was out and about as if the weekend from hell had never happened!! Adam in not a Licensed Acupuncturist, he is an Angel of Mercy! I've had acupuncture before but nothing even closely resembling these results. So I say unto thee, get thee to Adam if thou art suffering like I was, it will be the best decision you'll ever make! Adam, from the bottom of my heart and back, THANK YOU! read more

I've struggled my whole life searching for reprieve from chronic bad health-- migraines, low energy, abdominal pain, the list goes on. I've struggled through the perils of western medicine-- repeated misdiagnosis, treatments with awful medicines that had more negative side effects than positive benefits, and a general inability of any doctor to remotely identify the cause of symptoms negatively effecting my health. With an intuitive healing ability and a high level of skill, Adam was able to determine in just a few visits that I had food sensitivities, resulting in chronic digestive distress and a slew of related problems. Working with him through regular treatments and following his suggestions about nutrition and dietary choices has profoundly improved my physical and mental well being (words cannot say!). In addition to being treated for digestive imbalance, I have seen him for help with colds, stress, and skin problems (generally anytime I have an health issue, I go see him) and his treatments have greatly eased symptoms and decreased recovery time. His manner is professional, attentive, and kind. I have been to other acupuncturists and naturopaths as well in the past, and while I did find some relief from their treatments I was not as consistently satisfied with the quality of their care and results were not as readily apparent. Adam has the touch! He has been such a positive force in my life and I am so thankful to be in his care. What more can I say?-- He's fabulous! read more
