ACUPUNCTURE IN SAN FRANCISCO

Looking for a Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist near San Francisco?

Luminate Mill Valley is the Acupuncture clinic of Chris Veiga, L.Ac. As an Acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, I have been serving the city of San Francisco as well as local Mill Valley community with my Chinese medicine expertise for the last twenty years. My practice is built around community-building.

Over the years, as the young ambitious go-getter professionals in the city morph into a more sedentary suburban family life with young children, I have witnessed the steady migration from San Francisco to Southern Marin, particularly Mill Valley. One thing has remained constant throughout the changing times, my patients’ unchanging loyalty to my practice and the feeling of a family in which our community is founded. There is no substitute for caring. My San Francisco patients come to Mill Valley because they know they are receiving the best care under my watch.

MY SPECIALTY

I specialize in pain management, both acute and chronic conditions. One thing which I have found in
many of my patients who work in the corporate environment ( Google, Visa ) is their commitment to a daily workout routine; whether it is running, weight lifting, cross-fit training, pickle ball, or swimming.

In addition, there’s always those weekend warriors with tee-time at the Olympic Club or pickup basketball game at the Bay Club. But the end result is the same, my patients needing Acupuncture either as a regular maintenance protocol or pain relief in cases of acute injury. In my clinic, every day I see so many patients with low back pain, sciatica, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendonitis.

This includes Sciatica, Low back pain, Tennis & Golfer’s elbow ( tendonitis ), Neck pain/Whiplash, Knee & Hip joint pain ( from post-surgery ), Carpal tunnel syndrome, Plantar fasciitis

WHY COME TO MILL VALLEY

Mill Valley is a special place for healing and natural medicine healthcare. Because of its close proximity to San Francisco, it takes no longer than 20-30 minutes. My patients from San Francisco enjoy coming to Mill Valley because it offers them a brief reprieve from the hustle-bustle of city life. In addition, they are drawn to the therapeutic and healing power of Mount Tamalpais which is an energy vortex. It’s amazing
how transformative a 2 hour break in the middle of your day can be when you practice self-care with an Acupuncture treatment followed by a hike out to Tennessee Beach.
