I've been meaning to do this review for sometime. I've gone to Pin Lu acupuncture, and massage about three times now. I've had some issues with my ankle, my knee, and my elbow, and after working with this business, I've found that not only is the quality of care extremely high, they are also very professional, very friendly, very efficient, and also extremely nice. Their prices are reasonable, and most importantly they are available around my schedule. I usually can only come on the weekends and they are able to accommodate me. The doctor and all of the therapist are extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, and I highly recommend this business. read more

The acupuncture results exceeded my expectations! After the session, I felt incredibly relaxed, as if my energy and blood flow had been restored--my whole body felt much more comfortable. The doctor is highly professional, skilled, and very attentive, making for an excellent experience. Highly recommended! read more

Pin Lu was amazing. I was having terrible back pain and had tried everything from massage, chiropractors, medication and PT. I really believe acupuncture has helped my back pain tremendously. I would highly recommend Pin Lu! read more

This is my first accipuncture experience and i've been pleasantly surprised with the exceptional experience, customer satisfaction and most importantly the end results provided by Dr Lu and her exceptional staff. Outstanding care and top notch A+++ read more

Dr.Lu was the only one who could relieve some of my pregnancy sickness during the first 3 months. So happy to have found her. I was vomiting 3-4 times per day, and it would go down to 1-2 times after her treatments for about 3-4 days. No other acupuncturist could offer this level of relief, so made quite a difference for me. She uses real thick needles, so felt painful. Was happy she offered a package for her acupuncture and cost was competitive for paying out of pocket, however she also accepts insurance. read more

Dr. Lu is so wonderful and I am great that I found her! She is thorough, truly listens to your aches and pains and wants to help you get better! Qinglan is a massage therapist that is out of this world amazing! She takes such pride in her work and I truly have never received a massage at her level of skill. The strength of her hands for such a petite woman is remarkable. She also does amazing stretches! She goes above and beyond! Highly highly recommend coming here for all your needs! This team knows how to care for their clients! read more

I had long-term sleep problems, and I didn't expect that after just three treatments with Dr. Lu, my insomnia would improve so significantly. Dr. Lu is highly professional and very caring, and her massage therapist is also excellent. The whole experience was very reassuring. I sincerely recommend them. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Lu and Luisa since April 2025. They successfully treated my tennis elbow, and I am currently receiving treatment for my knee and leg. During one of my visits for knee and leg pain, I mentioned to Dr. Lu that I had been dealing with hemorrhoids on and off for years. Out of curiosity, I asked if she could help with this issue. Dr. Lu took immediate action and treated it in one session. The bleeding stopped right away, and I was healed at the clinic. Dr. Lu's expertise in acupuncture and Chinese medicine was evident in how swiftly and effectively she treated my hemorrhoids. She took the time to listen to all my concerns and explained her treatment approach, which included targeted acupuncture and Chinese herbal remedies. What truly set Dr. Lu apart was her holistic care. Throughout the process, Dr. Lu made sure I felt comfortable and informed, showing genuine compassion and dedication to my well-being. I am genuinely grateful for her care and plan to consult Dr. Lu for any future health concerns. Compared to other medical visits where treatments felt impersonal and limited to symptom relief, Dr. Lu's approach was thorough and personalized. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and caring holistic treatment. Di read more

Dr. Pin Lu had changed my life in so many ways. I started coming for hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, occasional back pain and plantar fasciitis. She is so caring and really cares about the well-being of her patients. I am now feeling healthy, energized & I am pregnant after months of trying. She also has a wonderful team of masseuses for massage after acupuncture treatment. read more

Excellent service and care... Highly recommend Dr. Liu for acupuncture needs. She is very good!!

I visited Dr. Lu after having sciatica pain for 4 months. My insurance covered 5 visits initially. Dr. Lu recommended adding massage and adjustment. This combination worked so well I felt relief after the first visit and continued with each visit. My insurance covered 8 more visits. After all 13 visits my pain was completely gone. It's been a month now and I'm back to all my earlier activities with no pain. Dr. Lu and her staff were all very professional and caring. read more

My naturopath recommended acupuncture to help with my digestion. I found Dr. Pin Lu and I can't tell you how amazed I am at the relief and improvement. She not only has helped with what I was sent to her for, but she also improved my sleep and stress. Both are invaluable. She's very sweet, very knowledgable, easy to get in and out of the office, schedule appointments, and I can't speak highly enough about the relief I have gotten from her treatment in such a short time!. read more

I can't recommend this place enough! The acupuncture treatments have truly been transformative for my body and the chronic pain that I've been living in. I live with upper unilateral shoulder pain, cervical neck pain, and unilateral hand pain. In a desperate attempt to get any sort of immediate relief, I booked an appointment here and I'm so grateful that I did. Not only has this been a tremendous source of pain management for me, it's made my quality of life so much better, which thereby, increases my energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. One thing I truly appreciate about Pin Lu and her team, is the holistic and personal approach that they take. They truly care about their patients and take their time to make sure what they are doing is working, and if you are not getting any sort of immediate relief, they will continue working with you during your visit, in order to achieve desired results. You can tell that they truly care about their patients and the patient's overall well-being. They are truly passionate about their craft, and go above and beyond for their patients. Most places these days are just trying to make a profit and get as many patients in and out of the door as quickly as possible, and this place is so so much more than that.... I wish all Doctors took the approach that Dr. Pin Lu does. The massage therapists are equally amazing, skilled at relieving tension and addressing problem areas with expert care. I always leave feeling revitalized and balanced, both physically and mentally. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in my health. If you're looking for a holistic approach to wellness, look no further than Dr. Pin Lu! read more

I have visited Dr. Lu and her staff several times for my tennis elbow as well as pain in my left knee and leg. Her acupuncture treatment is precise and effective. Combined with Luisa's cupping and massage, the results are truly exceptional. I don't think you'll find a better team in Poway or even San Diego. Plus, they accept insurance. read more

Pin Lu Acupuncture provides lovely services. It is such a treat to get acupuncture and a massage. I feel so relaxed after every session.

Great place, excellent service, very knowledgeable, highly recommend if you have any back or neck pain.

Dr. Pin Lu has been very helpful in giving us our appropriate treatments. Coming from an Hispanic backgrounds these kinds of treatments were always a must for muscles pains which I've always been skeptical about until the last few years. These kind of treatment actually do work when you get someone that knows what they're doing! Dr. Pin Lu is full of knowledge and experience in her field! I will continue to come here for my treatment and recommend for anyone that's looking for acupuncture to come check Dr. Pin Lu here in Poway! read more

I have PCOS issues and been going to Dr. Lu for three months now. Her treatment has been VERY effective. She not only helps with my OB problems, she also helps with neuro and GI issues with the needles now. Her treatment has made me feel so much better overall. Dr. Lu and her staff are always so friendly and professional too. I can't live without going to her office now. read more

I had had some persistent upper back and neck pain for the last few months probably due to my accident last year. I tried traditional medicine and physical therapy to no avail. A friend recommended Dr. Pin Lu in Poway. She is a very nice and soft spoken doctor who specializes in non traditional methods to alleviate pain and other conditions. I have always been a little bit hesitant about Holistic medicines even though my family has always been proponets of Holistic Healthcare in some fashion or another, even to the point of being wierd sometimes, no dead chickens or anything like that. Her office in Poway has four nicely decorated seperate rooms all featuring her art work since she is also an artist. The lighting is soft and relaxing music in the background. Her office is extremely busy. So plan accordingly. Dr. Pin Lu's approach to my treatment for pain, was very aggressive. As I lay face down on a table with a face hole. I was pricked by multiple needles gently applied to my back and legs. She then attached electric clips to each needle and a heat lamp. I could feel the electric pulses and warmness engulf my entire back. My treatment lasted over an hour. She was treating me along with a few other clients. I have been to other acupuncturist at much lower rates but I truly feel she is the best in the business. My wife who came along was also impressed by her uncanny ability to diagnose us simply by talking with us and checking out our tongues. We were truly surprised by this and did not expected it. She also treats cosmetic issues on the face and weight loss of all things. I waited more than a week before I posted this and I feel pain free. But, as she told me I need to continue for a few more weeks before I have lasting pain relief. If you have ever considered accuncture. This is the place to go. read more

See all

Dr. Lu has been most helpful with my medical needs. I found her by luck during a search of American Specialty covered Acupuncturist. I came to her with pain from a car accident. She has continued to help relieve the pain. When I walked into her office I was given the time to explain my needs it was if she had a natural touch to understand what my body was yelling. Thank you for everything Dr. Lu read more

Great practice with friendly service from the beginning. Initial call was with Dr. Lu who was informative and helpful over the phone for booking. Arranged appointments for my parents who have experience with acupuncture treatment, and they were both happy after the first visit. My parents described it as a clean environment with sanitation as a priority, and helpful treatment from Dr. Lu! They're scheduled for a series of treatments, and I am also planning a session myself. Easy to find location in the Orange theory Plaza, with ample parking The existing reviews helped us decide on which Acupuncture practice to use. Thanks Dr. Lu and Vicky for the rapid correspondence and booking. read more

I can heartily recommend Pin Lu for your treatment. I had tried acupuncture a few times before with limited relief and it had always been temporary. I don't know who told me about her but I'm so glad that they did. I had a hip muscle problem for years where after a short distance I would have to stop for the burning to go away. She worked her magic with the needles and the next day I woke up and it was gone, never bothered me again. I've since seen her many times over the past few years and she has helped get rid of a lot of scar tissue in my arms from dirt bike racing, my shoulders, etc. Unfortunately she can't cure my arthritis but she has been able to relieve it a great deal and I really appreciate what knowledge she has in helping me to live as pain free as possible given all the damage I have done to myself over the years. You won't be disappointed in seeing her at all. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr Pin Lu and her team. I suffer from chronic back, knee, ankle, and neck pain. My sleep is all over the place. I've had nagging issues that continually flare up that massage, stretching, topical creams, and physical therapy have been unable to address. I've visited her office for 3 months straight and I've seen amazing improvement in my daily pains. Not just the "it feels good for an hour or two afterwards" relief but actual, sustained, relief that's continued between our weekly or semi-weekly sessions. She's very astute in finding and correcting areas of pain. I've referred a friend to her and we both had an experience where Dr Lu will assess and point to a muscle or specific area and say "that's where your pain is coming from" then work her magic and relief is given. My sleep inconsistencies have improved greatly. I track my HRV, sleep duration, and REM/nREM sleep cycles. Since seeing her for treatment I've added an additional hour of sleep each night and my REM sleep has increased an average of 18% . Additionally my HRV has improved 5-10 points. I give Dr Pin Lu my highest recommendation and advise anyone who's contemplating a visit to book with her. Definitely try the needling and cupping combination session. It works wonders. read more

My first appointment went very well. I noticed a reduction in my pain and felt relaxed. I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

I am a patient who suffered from low back pain, and under the careful treatment of Dr. Lu, I returned to normal. During this period, I also experienced shingles, and the nerve pain was unbearable. However, through Dr. Lu's acupuncture and conditioning, I received effective treatment. Dr. Lu has excellent medical skills, treats people sincerely, and is truly kind-hearted. She is a doctor with great compassion! I feel so lucky and grateful to have met Dr. Lu. read more

Seeing Dr. Lu for neck pain and very hopeful after my first visit, already feeling results.

I am very pleased with the treatment provided by Dr. Lu. I went to see her due to headaches and neck pain. She was very attentive from the beginning and took the time to fully understand my condition and make her evaluation. The treatment was conducted in a very clean and pleasant environment. I felt immediate relief after the first appointment and continued treatment to get to the root of the problem. She made me feel at peace with the whole process. I highly recommend Dr. Lu. Her office is conveniently located close to freeways and has parking available all the time. read more

Place very clean. Dr. Lu did careful evaluation, diagnosed a few issues. Then proceeded to treat me. I am now pain free! One issue I had was making multiple restroom visits during the night disturbing my sleep. Dr. Lu put several fresh herbs together, creating prescription, ground them and carefully mixed making 10 days worth of tea bags. Now I sleep through entire night. I have more energy, memory improved, and even lost a little weight. I asked where she received her training, she said studied in China for many years to be certified, and worked in rehab hospital. She said 5,000 years of Chinese medicine was her study, and then in United States had to get re-certified, be licensed and get her degree to be a Doctor if Acupuncture. I was surprised that Kaiser doctor could refer there and be on insurance. I have been back twice already and find this whole process to be life changing. I highly recommend Dr. Lu for treating a variety of conditions. Her heritage and training of over 5,000 years of knowledge is an incredible gift to tap into. I tried to make an appointment today. Dr. Lu was traveling to Los Angeles to do some advanced training and train others. I like when someone takes their profession to those levels and trying to achieve higher learning. I wish others can take advantage of her amazing knowledge and skills. Sincerely, Clyde J. read more

If you want to use insurance, be careful. They don't know how insurance works. They told me wrong deductible and kept overcharging me. They didn't try to refund me until I confronted them. They even didn't know how to refund through cedit card machine, and took me nearly a month to finally get full refunded. It was really stressful and pain in the ass. Then the doctor told me actually my insurance covers only 30mins session, although she used to give me full 1hour session before I confronted them. After all this, she put me in a smaller room and gave me only 30mins session and without infra red heater. (before all this, I was treated in a biggest room with full 1hour session with infra red heater) The doctor treated me nice only while I was overpaying. I found another acupuncture place where is willing to give me a full 1 session with infra red heater, and treats me like a queen. I wish the doctor at least apologized me for this hassle so I wouldn't have to feel this way, but not a word from her. read more
