Your Partner in Holistic Healing
As the founder of Acupuncture Avenue, I've dedicated my career to helping patients achieve holistic wellness through traditional Chinese medicine. My journey began in 2001 while studying in Hong Kong, where I met Dr. Choi, a renowned acupuncturist whose success stories inspired me to pursue this path. After earning my Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University, I established Acupuncture Avenue to share these time-tested healing practices with the San Jose community. With over five years of immersive experience in Hong Kong and collaboration with respected practitioners like Esther Su in the Bay Area, I've developed a comprehensive approach that combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, and cupping therapy. Our clinic specializes in treating a wide range of conditions including chronic pain, allergies, anxiety, and insomnia, using techniques that address both physical symptoms and emotional well-being. We utilize both traditional glass cupping and modern plastic cupping methods to provide customized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.Our GMP-certified herbal formulas complement acupuncture sessions, offering a complete approach to wellness that has helped numerous patients find relief from long-standing health issues. From my first consultation with a patient to follow-up treatments, I prioritize thorough evaluations and personalized care that considers the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. The positive outcomes we've achieved with patients suffering from conditions like asthma, car accident injuries, and sports-related ailments reinforce my commitment to this holistic healing approach. Whether addressing acute injuries like sprained ankles or chronic conditions that have resisted conventional treatments, our goal remains the same: to help patients rediscover their natural state of health and vitality through the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing. This technique addresses various health conditions by targeting specific acupoints on the body. Patients benefit from pain relief, improved circulation, and enhanced emotional well-being through regular sessions.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine involves customized plant-based remedies to strengthen and balance the body's systems. We prescribe formulas based on individual diagnoses using capsules, powders, and pills made from high-quality, GMP-certified ingredients. This treatment complements acupuncture for comprehensive wellness addressing digestive issues, allergies, and chronic conditions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses suction to relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote detoxification. We employ both traditional glass cups and modern plastic cups with pumps for customized treatment. This technique effectively addresses muscle tension, inflammation, and stress-related conditions when combined with acupuncture.
Pain Management
Our pain management approach combines acupuncture, cupping, and herbal medicine to address chronic and acute pain conditions. We specialize in treating neck, back, shoulder, and joint pain from injuries or long-term issues. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and lasting relief without reliance on medication.

Allergy relief treatments use acupuncture and herbal medicine to alleviate respiratory symptoms and improve immune function. We target nasal congestion, asthma, and seasonal allergies through customized protocols that address both immediate symptoms and underlying imbalances for long-term wellness.

I came in with a pinched nerve, stiffness and jolting pain on my upper back area. As a first timer, I was not expecting miracles but just wanted to alleviate some pain. Doctor Peter use Acupuncture and inserted small needles on my head back and leg, that surprisingly caused no pain at all. Within thirty minutes, the jolts of pain I had from my back was gone when I got up and I was able to move my frozen neck around. I was not expecting such instant results and was ecstatic. Everything was so simple, I wished I did it the first day I got hurt . Will be coming back to Doctor Peter anytime I need

Had my first session with Peter yesterday for some shoulder issues and sleeping issues.
Been having a lot of issues sleeping through out the night for the past couple of years. I usually rely on sleeping aids to help me sleep too. Last night I actually slept all the way to the morning! Did not wake up 1-2 times like I normally do. Peter only put some needles on my hand and leg for the sleeping issue and it worked wonders. For my shoulder issue, Peter used cupping to treat it. My shoulder discomfort and tension is mostly from WFH and sitting in front of a computer 10-13hrs a day. After

Peter is amazing! He tried to help me, but wasn't really able to. However, he is very trustworthy and ethical. When he wasn't able to help me, he didn't have me coming back for visit and visit; he was honest about it and referred me to a doctor he had a lot of faith in and he is helping me! I just think my case is really tough and a little too difficult for acupuncture; but I do feel Peter is extremely good at what he does, and I would go back to him any time!

Treatment:
For sleep, anxiety, and energy. Peter used only a few needles, which is ideal for those that do not do well with acupuncture needles.
Experience:
Relaxing and zen. Within 10 minutes, I was able to feel relaxed both mentally and physically. I felt more grounded, relaxed, and rested even the following days.
Results:
My sleep has improved and I have more energy. I'm no longer wake up at night.
Overall, I would recommend trying Acupuncture Avenue if you're looking to improve your energy, sleep, and overall wellness!

Dr Peter is very helpful in helping me with my fatigue and lower back problems. I've had many sessions with him and his worked has helped me feel like I have more energy and has helped me focus more. Very insightful in examining my problems and great with follow ups. I'm pretty new to eastern medicine but can say it has definitely helped a lot.
