Jonah Larkin L.Ac. | the well clinic~ acupuncture, counseling, massage therapy in San Francisco

My practice is focused on mood conditions/emotional health, and sports medicine, two areas that respond especially well to acupuncture.  I usually blend Acupuncture with specialty massage techniques which I call Acu-massage.  This is a great way to reduce stress and dissipate tension.

Stress, Anxiety and Depression
So many people suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression and yet a routine doctor visit oftentimes does not result in a satisfactory solution. I have developed a full spectrum treatment for mood conditions utilizing acupuncture, bodywork, herbs, and nutrition.  I have helped patients who suffer from difficult mood disorders as well as those who have realized how much better they feel and perform without the harmful influence of undue stress.

Sports Medicine
As a lifelong athlete, I understand the goal of being able to perform at your best.  Nothing is more frustrating as an athlete than having to hold back because of injury or fear of injury.  Acupuncture is one of the most effective methods of treating both acute sports injuries and helping to increase performance while drastically improving recovery time.  I combine Acupuncture, Shiatsu manual bodywork, and Herbal Therapies for an integrative approach to injuries and sports performance.  These therapies can be especially effective for pre-operative pain for acute injuries and post-operative pain
from surgery.

I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Massage Therapist
