Business Details
We are a husband-and-wife team of licensed practitioners dedicated to improving our patients' health and personal well-being. We have served the Oakland Chinatown community for more than thirty years, combining traditional Chinese medicine with Western chiropractic care. We have trained under Dr. Kevin W. Chen, who earned his medical degree from Sun YatSen University of Medical Sciences in Guangzhou and later obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West. We note that he practiced as a surgeon in Guangdong Province Hospital from 1982 to 1986 before immigrating to the United States in 1986. We have owned and managed our clinic since 1987, providing acupuncture, cupping, massage, Chinese herbs, and chiropractic adjustments. We also note that Xinyi Lin Chen holds a medical degree from Sun YatSen University and completed postgraduate training in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.
We have seen her work in the Internal Medicine and OB/GYN departments of Chinese hospitals before she immigrated to the United States in 1984 and received her acupuncture certification in 1987. We bring together decades of clinical experience in treating conditions such as car accidents, work and sports injuries, pain relief, fibromyalgia, and migraines. Our specialized skills extend to addressing sciatica, Bell's palsy, arthritis, stress, depression, insomnia, and various women's health concerns. We adhere to rigorous professional standards, ensuring each treatment plan is personalized, evidencebased, and focused on measurable outcomes. Our commitment to client satisfaction drives us to keep services affordable, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and maintain transparent pricing for every visit.

Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It is utilized for patients experiencing pain from injuries, chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, and stressrelated disorders. Clients often report reduced discomfort, improved mobility, and enhanced overall wellbeing after a series of treatments.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on manual adjustments of the spine and joints to restore proper alignment and function. It is commonly sought by patients suffering from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and headache disorders resulting from injury or strain. Benefits include decreased pain, improved posture, and greater flexibility for daily activities.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to create negative pressure that draws blood to the surface. It is applied to alleviate muscle tightness, inflammation, and pain from conditions such as sports injuries and chronic tension. Patients often experience increased circulation, reduced soreness, and accelerated recovery after treatment.
Massage
Therapeutic massage involves manipulating soft tissues to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. It is suitable for patients dealing with muscle strains, stress, and postinjury stiffness. Results often include decreased pain, enhanced flexibility, and a greater sense of calm and wellbeing.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbal medicine utilizes personalized formulas of natural ingredients to address internal imbalances and support healing. It is prescribed for conditions such as digestive disorders, infertility, menstrual irregularities, and immune system weaknesses. Patients frequently notice improved energy, reduced symptoms, and enhanced overall vitality after consistent use.

I am here on a old work comp injury. Free for me. They were kind but soo busy. My appointment was 12:45. I know the parking in this area is awful so I starting looking early. I got lucky so I was only 10 minutes late. BUT! I did not get to the acupuncture table till 2pm,1 Hour later and because of a problem with the machine falling from a table plus i guess the busy time I spent only 20 minutes having it done. It should go much better the next time. But listen, the last thing you want to get there in is a car. Choose any way but that. With cane in hand I hiked 4 blocks there and 4 blocks back.

I was referred by my primary care doctor to Visit the Accupuncture center and received great care. I had bad lower back pain that would not go away for months. I noticed that by the 3rd appointment I had more relief. I also noticed that if I accidentally messed up my back by turning or twisting my lower back it would recover much faster. Besides improving my back I made a great friend. Linda really cares for you and works as fast as she can to serve all the patients.
Her husband also has a magic hand we're I don't feel the needles going in. It's a 2 man show in this facility but their dedication to healing and making you feel welcome has made me also refer other family members. If you are in pain it is worth checking out.
