In response to a crazy travel and work schedule, my body started rebelling with lower back pain, headaches and mood swings the fall of 2007. I started accupuncture with Dr. Rhoda a few months ago, and I finally feel more "balanced." It's hard to explain this sense of well-being unless you regularly practice yoga/meditation, receive accupuncture treatment and/or exercise. Initially I had reservations about being poked with needles, but Dr. Rhoda is really gentle and she always spends time listening to your ailments or what's going on with your body before beginning each treatment. If you're looking to try accupuncture for the first time or are shopping for a new practitioner, check out Dr. Rhoda at East Bay Pain Care. P.S. - This organization just moved into a new building so things may be a little chaotic. However, it's a fantastic space.
Pros: Great new office space and friendly staff
Cons: Parking - bring lots of quarters for the meters

Everyone should go see Lorenzo Puertas at East Bay Pain Care. He is amazing - very professional and knowledgeable and also just a kind and really fun person. I get both cupping and acupuncture for chronic back pain and the treatments help immensely (this is after being in and out of physical therapy and trying other massage therapists and acupuncturists). Lorenzo is a really good listener and I always feel completely cared for - its nothing like being rushed through a doctor's office. The entire staff is really great and provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They also have chiropractic and massage services and a room full of Chinese medicine and herbs as well as books and other resources. I have total faith in them and am sure that any staff member there would give top quality care. The office is on 30th Street, off of Broadway in Oakland (right by the Summit Medical Center). There is metered street parking - otherwise its about a 10 minute walk from the 19th Street BART, or there is a free shuttle from MacArthur BART. And its worth the trek - even if you live elsewhere (I go there from SF). Their office number is 510-444-2772.
Pros: high quality care, really kind staff, easy to schedule appointments
Cons: none
