“Maiko is a great acupuncturist—careful and a good communicator. She helped a lot with some pain I was experiencing.”
Daniel F.August 3, 2025
“I came to Dr. Maiko for wrist pain that had been bothering me for years from working long hours at a computer. The pain was affecting my daily life even typing or holding a mug was uncomfortable. Dr. Maiko took the time to understand my situation and created a treatment plan with acupuncture and some gentle exercises. After just one session I noticed a big difference. The pain eased, and I started regaining strength and flexibility. She’s kind, knowledgeable, and truly cares. Highly recommend!”

Great service and treatment

Absolutely the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. Extremely knowledgeable in both an eastern approach as well as a more western sports medicine approach of trigger point therapy and injury recovery. I have multiple long term injuries that she has treated and healed including mid back pain, low back pain, hip issues, and TMJ.

Maiko is simply amazing and never ease to amaze with trigger point locations and their intensity. She explores creatively with treatment that works with my body. The double needle flossing is indeed my favorite. I can experience immediate releases upon target point treatments. Keep up the amazing work.

Nice even helped me with my stomach issues
September 9, 2020Eliani C.Verified patient
After months of Physical therapy for three torn rotator cuff muscles and a shredded labrum did not reduce the pain enough to avoid the possibility of surgery, I went to see Maiko. Every session she listened, watched, focused, and adjusted for every new change and subtlety until she chased the pain away. The range of motion returned, and I no longer felt injured. She is an absolute miracle worker.
