San Diego Sports Acupuncture

The best pain relief I have found!
After suffering from nearly constant pain in my mid back for over a year, I was recommended to see Dr. Uzi by a coworker. As a massage therapist, I had tried nearly everything I could think of to alleviate the chronic pain I was having. I finally got over my aversion to needles and booked a session with Dr. Uzi, and I am so glad I did!
He made me feel calm from start to finish. He did a very thorough assessment of my pain and movements before we got started with the needles. He made sure I was comfortable the entire way as he worked, asking for feedback along the way. He explained his process and what to expect. At the end of the session, I had immediate improvements to my pain and range of motion. I had three sessions with him, and the pain I was suffering from, even with breathing, is almost completely gone. I will definitely be back again anytime my body needs detailed work like Dr. Uzi does and will absolutely be sending people his way! Thank you so much for providing such wonderful care for your patients, it’s very clear you are passionate about what you do!

I suffer from sciatica pain that travels from my lower back down through my left leg. When it flares up, the pain is so intense that I can barely walk, and it severely limits my physical activities.

During my last episode, the pain was unbearable, and I couldn’t walk at all. I was recommended to try acupuncture with Uzi, and after just eight sessions (two per week), the pain was completely gone!

Beyond the incredible results, I want to highlight Uzi’s gentle and caring approach. He ensures every step of the treatment is comfortable, stopping immediately if there’s any discomfort and adjusting as needed. His detailed explanations during each session made me feel fully involved and confident in the process.

I’ve never experienced such attentive and effective care. I 200% recommend Uzi to anyone dealing with back pain or sciatica—you’ll not only find relief but also experience top-notch service.

I race Ironman 70.3s (age grouper), and have been dealing with recurrent calf strain issues since early 2023. Never have been able to run with the same confidence or speed since the initial injury as I’m always weary of flare ups and re-injury (multiple times), so training hasn’t been the same. I’ve done PT, plyometrics, foam rolling, KT tape…you name it. I’ll certainly keep up that preventative care, but acupuncture with Sean at SDSA was a game changer. After only one targeted session, I haven’t had one flare up in my calf, and have been able to push the pace on my runs again, without pain. I’m feeling strong in my running, with my pace and confidence nearly back to where I was before the injury. I’ve gone back for recovery sessions since the effect of acupuncture has been so significant – I’m a believer! Sean is very knowledgeable and friendly to work with as well. Makes for a great experience.
