ActiveMed Integrative Health Center - Pain Management in Encinitas, California

“My visit with ActiveMed in Encinitas, CA was an amazing experience from start to finish. I was welcomed right away by the friendly front desk, and even though I knew little about Eastern medicine, I was blown away--my surf injury healed in just a few weeks with acupuncture after months of pain. Danielle referred me, and I'm so glad she did. Matt was incredibly knowledgeable, made me feel completely at ease, and I barely felt a thing (even though I'm terrified of needles!). In addition to ActiveMed having great practitioners, they have amazing support from patient care coordinators as well. I got to know quite a few folks during my visits, special thank you to Brenda, Elan, Kaylin, Britany, Savana, Jackie, Smita and Aarianna!! I even referred my sister who got an amazing lymphatic massage, she's going back for another soon! Seriously, I can't recommend ActiveMed enough, definitely check them out!”

She is also kind. She cares about you. After my sessions, I always feel better in the areas we focused on. I always look forward to my next session.”

“I had my first acupuncture treatment with Dr. Matt last week and very much appreciate his clinical, straight forward "get to the solution" approach. I presented with quite a few pre-menstrual trigger points in my neck and shoulders that usually lead to a migraine. Dr. Matt was able to place needles in the trigger points which helped them melt away and I avoided my monthly migraine. So grateful!”

“I found this facility/practitioner (Matt A) on google. And I'm glad I did. I have been looking for this level of expertise and care with dry needling since 2019 when I lived in Colorado. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional and organized- they make the process of booking super easy and thoroughly explain options and services. The facility is easy to find, plenty of parking and updated/clean/well maintained. Matt is exceptional. I trust that he is the practitioner that will find a solution to the chronic hip pain and other sports related injuries/pain that I have had. His technique, knowledge and experience is top notch. He spent time with me during evaluation and I felt heard. He explained his treatment approach and reasoning behind it, made sure I felt comfortable, and checked in with me during the process. He answered all my questions and was friendly, kind, present and engaged. The fees for treatment are fair. The level of value for the cost is unbeatable, especially in Southern California. If you're looking for one of the best dry needling practitioners, go here. Get on Matt's schedule and trust his treatment plan. He typically is booked out a couple weeks in advance.”
