On Point Wellness

Lanelle is the best! She has such a comforting vibe and is very professional. Her exam and treatments are thorough, gentle yet powerful, and effective for issues of both the mind and body. She really cares about her patients and what she does. The office was a very pleasant place to be. If you’re not sure how she can help you, ask! She’s pleasant to talk to and answers all my questions (and I seem to ask a lot). I’ll admit I don’t fully understand fully how acupuncture works, but she does and that’s what matters! She’s different than other traditional practitioners and I’m happy I went to her. Definitely go see her! You’ll be thankful you did!

I have found 5 Element Acupuncture to be a powerful healing tool. Lanelle brings a level of skill and talent to her practice that previously I could only find by driving to San Francisco. Lanelle has been treating me weekly for about 3 years now. We have been working on depression and chemical dependency. The impact of each treatment is dramatic. I feel energetic, happy and calm.
Over the years Lanelle has also treated my occasional issues with sleep and digestion. I highly recommend her to patients looking for a «Real Deal» acupuncturist with convenient scheduling and reasonable fees. She is a gifted practitioner.

After seeing three different acupuncturist I found Lanelle and she is one of the most caring practitioners I know. She spends time listening to what is going on in my life, and not just what my «pains» are, and treats me as a whole person. I started seeing her for horrible chronic pain in my right ankle that I’ve had for years. The pain is completely gone after working with her. Every time I leave her office I feel so alive and happy!!! This is good stuff…

She’s so gentle I don’t even know there’s little pins going into my skin! I’ve had a couple of treatments from her and each time I feel so much better. I can actually feel my «chi» clear up. Really weird! It’s like voodoo, but I really believe it works. She’s been helping me get through a serious broken leg injury – femur broken in two places way up by the hip joint – due to a gunshot. The PTSD treatment she gave me also really helped me big time. I don’t have any scary nightmares anymore. Anyway, she does a fantastic job, and I highly recommend her!

Lanelle has been treating me for a dull pain in my right forearm as well as an ongoing problem with my right knee. I have been extremely happy with the progress I am making based on her plan of care. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field, explains what she is doing clearly and truly wants the best for the patient.
Her office is easy to find and is a pleasant place to visit. I highly recommend Lanelle Durst and her services.

I have been a patient in this practice for over 6 weeks now. I was experiencing unrelenting left-​sided body pain flares, headaches, upper body tension and extremity weakness from a May 2011 car accident. I had been diligent with traditional acupuncture treatments immediately after the accident but after a year of this, I had reached a plateau in relief. I could function on a daily basis but still experienced low-​grade pain and weakness in my upper body, as well as moderate pain flares radiating from my low back to hip and leg. A friend mentioned Classical Five Element Acupuncture might help me overcome my pain plateau and respond better to other therapies too. Since my doctor’s only alternatives were medication or cervical surgery, I decided to give this clinic and treatment style a chance to help me.
After my first 3 weekly treatments, I felt marked pain relief (80%) consistently. My pain flares occurred less frequently and were much less intense overall. I regained my mental clarity and experienced a return to my normal energy levels and mood — all adverse effects from the accident. In addition, I had mentioned several other symptoms bothering me and they have begun to disappear as well. I finally feel like I am on the right track to a complete recovery.
I would highly recommend Lanelle Durst to anyone interested in trying acupuncture to improve their health & wellness. She is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, patient and efficient in her care. Acupuncture is a minimally invasive therapy and I strongly believe folks will not be disappointed in the quality of services provided at this practice.

For years, I have been experiencing tight joints, especially on my wrists, shoulders and ankles. I was unable to find a remedy to help loosen up these areas of my body until I tried acupuncture. Lanelle dedication to the healing profession, her caring demeanor and communication are excellent! She radiate a sincere comforting energy, and having the client’s best interest at heart.

I strongly believe in acupuncture and have a woman I go to in the East Bay and when I am in the South Bay I go to Lanelle. She is by far one of the best acupuncturist in the bay. She helped me tremendously after the birth of my daughter both mentally and physically. She has an incredible bedside manner and truly cares for her clients. She has helped women get pregnant and also can help with depression and physical complications.
