Solis has cared for the greater Santa Cruz community since 2011, offering evidence-based acupuncture treatment that blends traditional Chinese medicine with modern pain science at our Capitola clinics.
Our team of licensed acupuncturists, each with over 10 years of practice, treats chronic pain, sports injuries, and whole-body wellness, and we collaborate with physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, osteopathic physicians, and MDs. Acupuncture has been practiced for over 2,500 years and is now used across the globe as both traditional and medical acupuncture. Beyond pain, it can improve sleep, support digestion, and ease anxiety and depression.
We also offer auricular, cosmetic, and pediatric acupuncture. We are passionate practitioners committed to helping patients across Capitola and Santa Cruz get real, lasting results.
Natural, drug-free chronic pain relief
Acupuncture is most commonly used for pain relief. Stimulating the nervous system to release the body's natural painkillers helps treat pain from chronic and acute conditions, including back, neck, joint, and knee pain, migraines, and tension headaches, without the side effects of medication. For lasting pain management, we combine needle insertion with electroacupuncture, cupping, and trigger point needling to release trigger points directly.
Experienced, Licensed Acupuncturists
Our acupuncture practitioners are seasoned medical professionals who use sterile, disposable needles, which are typically made of stainless steel, to promote healing and maintain the highest clinical standards in clinical practice. Thin needles may be manipulated manually or with gentle stimulation, and accurate needle placement matters, so our practitioners take every precaution during each acupuncture session while adhering to ethical standards set by the National Certification Commission.
Evidence-Based, Integrative Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment
A key component of traditional Chinese medicine and oriental medicine, traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion and moxibustion at acupuncture points along meridians, where energy, or Qi, is believed to flow by TCM practitioners.
As complementary and alternative medicine, acupuncture may be recognized as a complementary therapy and used alongside other forms of care when standard treatments are insufficient, working with your other medical professionals. While some of acupuncture's benefits are debated as placebo effects and the evidence is sometimes rated low quality, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and ongoing scientific research continue to study acupuncture's effects against sham acupuncture for many conditions.
