New accessible room ✨

At Inner Balance Medicine, we are committed to patient comfort, inclusivity, and accessibility.

After years of shuffling the furniture around in our standard rooms, we have opened a table-free room for patients who receive treatments in chairs, wheelchairs, or other needs.

If you need accommodations to make your visit safe & comfortable, please let us know how we can support you 💖

We will be moving soon. We are thrilled how this room came together, and our new clinic’s accessibility room will be even more comfortable and adaptable.

Passionate about addressing the needs of patients with complex health concerns, Dr. Amanda Gaitaud is inspired by her own experiences with autoimmune disease and chronic migraine.

Her therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the power of deeply listening to her patients, hearing their stories, and understanding the full context of their symptoms.

This approach allows her to help patients gain insight into their health and well-being while creating personalized plans for restoring their wellness.

Amanda holds a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine, specializing in orthopedics and pain management, from Pacific College of Health & Science, as well as an advanced practice Doctorate in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine from Yo San University. Additionally, she is a Fellow of the American Board of TCM Reproductive Medicine.

With extensive training in integrative medicine — San Diego Hospice and Institute for Palliative Medicine, Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego Cancer Center, UCSD Free Clinic, and Chengdu Regional TCM Hospital in China — Amanda combines her knowledge and personal experience to provide holistic care.

Since 2010, she has been a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist, herbalist, and integrative Eastern medicine clinician, dedicated to empowering others on their healing journeys.

As we move through life, everything within us and all around us is constantly in a state of flux.

We must grow with life and evolve with these changes in order to thrive.

Our clinic is also constantly adapting to the shifting patterns in our patients and community, integrating new knowledge and experience into our clinical practice, and the evolving demands of our personal lives.

We operate a rather complex clinic as we work with so many patients with all kinds of health concerns and our behind the scenes organization has evolved into a complex case management system.

We felt the strain of a complicated appointment system bogging us down and we realized how unnecessarily over complicated it had become, especially with our internal systems handling all the important details for our patients.

Now Connie & Amanda’s appointments are available under “Integrative Wellness.” For follow ups / existing patients, choose either a standard 45 minute classic *acupuncture*, or choose an extended 75 minute *acupuncture plus* with modalities or deeper discussion/consult time.

Robert’s orthopedic pain management program is separated for easy navigation.

Holistic bodywork now contains the appointments for our massage therapist Marissa and myofascial therapist Cara.

Stay tuned for more exciting developments, and please let us know what you think!!

At Inner Balance Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the core of our approach.

TCM has always been an *integrative* medicine, since its very beginnings thousands of years ago in China.

Acupuncture is one therapy within the TCM medical system, a therapy that elicits physiological change in the body utilizing innate self-regulating mechanisms.

“Whole system” TCM also includes other therapies, and depending on the nature of the patient’s condition, treatment would often include a combination of therapies.

TCM incorporated therapeutic nutrition, exercise therapy and stretching, bodywork, gua sha and cupping, bone-setting (chiropractic-like techniques), herbal medicine (as its pharmacology), surgery, lifestyle medicine such as stress management, sleep hygiene, seasonal harmony, and work/rest balance.

When we work with patients to improve their health and well being, we consider all the factors affecting a patient, as well as the tools and therapies that could benefit the patient.

Our treatments typically include way more than the acupuncture needles.

We often collaborate with other providers who offer therapies that we cannot provide ourselves such as physical therapy, counselors, chiropractic, or pharmaceuticals.

Our goal is to empower the patient to understand all of the tools that are available to help them so they can make informed decisions about how to manage their health and wellness.

We are proud to serve our community in the spirit of integrative medicine, rooted in thousands of years of patient-centered wisdom.

Many of us have put everyone else first.

We have taken care of our families, communities, and commitments.

We have found ourselves running on fumes, in pain, struggling to sleep, with digestive or menstrual irregularities.

We have tried some products advertised to improve our health.

We have experimented with some diets.

We have worked on staying positive.

But we feel our bodies asking for help, calling out for our attention, signaling something is off.

We need guidance on our wellness approach, from someone knowledgeable and experienced with a holistic perspective of health and well-being.

We need therapies that release stress from our bodies and inflammation from wreaking havoc on our health.

Inner Balance Medicine understands health through this holistic lens, prioritizing wellness in each member of our community.

Our clinic offers holistic consulting, acupuncture, massage and myofascial release, gua sha/scraping, cupping, herbal medicine, and supplement/nutrition guidance.

Acupuncture is an art and a science.

Each point selected has a purpose and provides a synergistic role in the entire treatment.

Many patients complain of stress, sleeping issues, anxiety, burnout, and fatigue.

When we see the signs of a dysregulated nervous system, incorporating the tranquility triangle can induce immediate relaxation.

These points are very shallow and respond to the most gentle stimulation.

We often apply magnets or tacs to these points instead of needles.

This post only describes the most basic function of each acupoint in context of this protocol, but they possess a much deeper and wider range of therapeutic indications and functions beyond what is listed here.

If you are feeling stressed, apply some essential oil or lightly massage each point on your wrist for 30 seconds then take a few deep breaths.
