Meet Shaheed K. Abdullah, L.Ac. DNBAO – San Diego’s Orthopedic Acupuncture Specialist.
If you’ve been living with pain, stress, or a condition your doctor hasn’t been able to fully resolve, you’re in the right place.
Shaheed K. Abdullah is a National Board Certified Orthopedic Acupuncturist and California State Licensed Acupuncturist with over 25 years of clinic experience.

But what truly sets Shaheed apart isn’t just his credentials – it’s his story. “My first experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine came after a college football injury that changed my life. I was scared to death of needles – and because I know exactly how that feels, I make it a point to be exceptionally gently with every single patient”
His greatest reward? The moment a new patient looks up and says:
“I wish I had tried this years ago.”
If you’re ready to feel better, move better and live better – we’d love to be apart of your healing process.
