Asia America Acupuncture & Herb Institute

I have been visiting Dr. Julie on and off since 2010 after being highly recommended by my cousin who lives in the area. I drive 1.5 hours from San Diego to see her. My initial injury in my right shoulder was something that my medical doctors could only treat with muscle relaxers and eventually physical therapy. After 3 rounds of physical therapy spanning 4 months time, my comfort level and range of motion was a 6 (at best) out of 10. My nerve in my right shoulder was being pinched by the inflammation of my muscles that it was also causing referred pain down to my elbow and even caused my fingers to feel numb and swell. After my 1^st visit with Dr. Julie, I left feeling such a sense of relief and my fingers actually stopped tingling! My range of motion in my shoulder increased after the 2^nd visit and eventually (after 2 more visits) I was completely healed! This took all of maybe a month total. Now fast forward almost 5 years later and I happen injure my right shoulder while working out. Not to mention constantly picking up a very hefty 3 year old! It was a busy time and it took longer than I would have liked to make myself an appointment to drive up to see Dr.Julie. She was able to squeeze me in to her schedule even at short notice. Upon arriving, she was just as warm and welcoming as I remember. Her kind spirit and sincere desire to want to help get me relief was so calming. Her first words after listening to me describe my pain were «Ok, don’t worry. I will help you.» Music to my ears. After the first visit (this was a Friday late afternoon) I instantly felt the pain in my elbow and numbness in my hand go away! My shoulder pain went down considerably & she explained that I had so much inflammation that I would benefit from another visit in a couple of days. Desperate for more relief (as I had an upcoming business trip out of town in a week), I was able to make my way up from San Diego the following Tuesday afternoon. This time she really focused on my shoulder. As I got up and needles were removed, I felt a warmth come over my right shoulder. She had me raise my arms and low and behold… I could lift my arm straight up without cringing or whincing in pain! I am confident that Dr. Julie’s work is the reason I have regained mobility in my right arm and shoulder! I will follow up with another appointment when I return from my trip to continue the healing. Thank you so much for giving me such relief from my pain Dr. Julie! I look forward to my next visit! God Bless you and your healing hands!

I have been seeing Dr. Julie for over 6 years. She is the best! With her help I was able to stop night sweats and was able to get pregnant. She is extremely educated and a wonderful person. I would highly recommend seeing her for any problems you may have — physical, mental or emotional.

Thank you — Thank you — Thank you, Dr. Julie!
I have been going to Dr Julie for YEARS … including my husband and children! We see her for colds, stress, pain (due to car accidents), weight loss, PMS … you name it! She is an AMAZING doctor with YEARS of experience here and in China. She takes her time. Discusses your symptoms and a wellness plan. She is very comfortable to be around and really cares about her patients. She is also an herbalist … we have been taking her herbs, instead of Rx, for colds/​allergies. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Julie!!!

Dr Julie is the best. I highly recommend her to all my friends and also you. You will be happy you found her! Her treatments have helped me when other acupuncture doctors have not.

Dr. Julie Chen Nelson is the best acupuncturist that I have found and I recommend her to my closest friends … and you. She is very thorough and takes the time needed to solve whatever issues you go to her with. Her nature puts you at ease as she keeps you informed through the whole visit. Also she is licensed to prescribe herbs and so far they don’t taste too bad and have helped me greatly.
If you give her a try you wont regret it!
