Conditions Treated in Solana Beach & North County

At The Art of Qi, we see patients with a wide variety of acute pain, chronic injury, and systemic imbalances. Our goal is to identify the root cause of your discomfort—mapping the connection between musculoskeletal symptoms and the body's internal meridian flow. By integrating Tui Na, Deep Tissue, and Needle-Free Acupuncture, we provide quick relief while ensuring long-term prevention of re-occurrence.

Common Conditions Managed at The Art of Qi

Below is a comprehensive list of conditions we successfully manage through our specialized sports medicine and pain management protocols:

Head, Neck & Spine

  • Back Pain (Lower & Upper) & Bulging Discs

  • Digital Fatigue / "Tech Neck"

  • Headaches (Tension & Migraine)

  • Neck Pain & Stiffness

  • TMJ / Jaw Pain

  • Whiplash & Spinal Stenosis Support

The Art of Qi Approach: Spinal health is the foundation of the nervous system. We target the Bladder and Governor meridians to release deep-seated compression, using Tui Na and Clinical Deep Tissue to alleviate the stagnation caused by postural stress and "tech neck."

Upper Body & Extremities

  • Shoulder Blade Tension & Frozen Shoulder

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries & Paddler’s Shoulder (Surfing)

  • Golfer’s & Tennis Elbow

  • Carpal Tunnel / Wrist & Hand Pain

The Art of Qi Approach: Repetitive motion in sports and professional life creates fascial adhesions. We utilize targeted pressure to break down these restrictions in the rotator cuff and forearms, restoring the body’s natural "glide" and unblocking the Large Intestine and Triple Energizer channels.

Lower Body & Athletics

  • Hip & Pelvic Pain

  • Leg Pain & Sciatica

  • Knee Pain & Runner's Knee

  • Shin Splints & Ankle Pain

  • Plantar Fasciitis (Foot & Heel Pain)

The Art of Qi Approach: We address lower extremity pain by ensuring structural alignment from the hip to the heel. By unblocking the Gallbladder and Kidney channels, we help athletes and active North County residents recover from high-impact strain and chronic nerve impingement.

Systemic & Wellness

  • Anxiety, Stress & Insomnia

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia

  • Arthritis & Joint Inflammation

  • Post-Surgical & Auto Accident Recovery

The Art of Qi Approach: Our needle-free meridian therapy regulates the nervous system, shifting the body from "fight or flight" into a state of deep, restorative healing. We focus on lowering systemic cortisol and restoring the flow of Qi to support long-term resilience and well-being.
