No one treatment modality works for every patient.
Many physicians are educated by their patients on how effective acupuncture has worked for conditions that have been limited to various treatment options, refractory to medications or failed conventional therapies.
I am very grateful for the time patients took out of their busy day to leave reviews to share their experience.
Many patients have entrusted us to be a part of the healing process to find some relief and normalcy from their pain…And for that I am truly appreciative.
Acupuncture is not a cure all or a magic bullet and does not work for every patient.
But, if you are in pain and have not tried acupuncture before then I guarantee you will wish you tried it a long time ago.

At first I didn’t give much credence to the benefits of acupuncture, but Worker’s Comp. sent me here in lieu of having further cortisone injections which I have been relying on for approximately the last eight years. You know what though, I really think there’s something to this Eastern way of healing. The pain I suffered was mostly gone by the end of the initial six sessions during November and December 2018. It has now been about 8 months since my last session, and my chronic pain has returned. I requested another six sessions which begin next week. We’ll see how it goes, but as it stands I am discovering that I get just as much relief – and for the same length of time – with acupuncture as I do with cortisone injections.

Having suffered from an automobile accident in 2010 and enduring the physical strains of being a mail carrier for the US Postal Service the last 32 years, I have developed moderate to severe osteo arthritis in my knees, lower back and shoulders. The pain at times was so overwhelming I slept in a reclining chair for months. Since coming to The Healing Arts Health Center my pain and quality of life is tremendously better. Shaheed is right on point with my pain management. He is professional and knowledgeable and always knows exactly how to calm my pain down. If you haven’t tried the cupping you should, I love having it right after my acupuncture treatment. I also want to say his staff is great, they are always pleasant, friendly and accommodating. Thank you Shaheed!!!!

Shaheed has helped eliminate the pain from my carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, due to pregnancy and overuse of hands. My chiropractor referred me here after my neurologist said physical therapy, acupuncture, and massage would not help. I, too, was skeptical that needles in my legs would cure the pain in my hands. I started out with two visits in a week, then once a week, then once every two weeks. It is fascinating to see that he will put the needles on different spots–on my hands, legs, ears–to see which points are the most receptive. I feel better a LOT better –it doesn’t hurt to open a jar or turn the doorknob or use the mouse on my computer; and the treatment has lasted between visits!
He is very knowledgeable, easy going, answers my questions, friendly, professional, and just a nice guy. He is really likable and has a pleasant bedside manner. I recommend wearing pants that can roll up and comfortable clothing since you are resting for a good 45-60 minutes with the needles and drinking water afterwards. He even agreed to treat me for tightness in my traps at no extra charge! I am very pleased to have him provide me treatment.

I started treatment with Shaheed in early January. My symptoms were eased after my first treatment. Almost immediately all my symptoms were relieved. It has been 9 months and I am so happy. I have no symptoms and I am back doing all the activities I did last summer. This is without any treatments other than acupuncture.
What I like best about acupuncture is that there are no side effects. I enjoy my sessions. It is nice to sit and relax.
I will continue to recommend Shaheed to my friends.

I've been to seven different acupuncturist in San Diego, Rancho Bernardo and Poway. Shaheed is one of the best by far. His treatment is excellent, the cupping is wonderful. I felt so relaxed afterward, which I never felt from the rest of the acupuncturist I've been to. Highly recommended. 🙂

Acupuncture was amazing...I felt so relaxed afterward and my pain was virtually gone. Following the acupuncture I also had a massage which was one of the best massages I have ever had by far. I have already made recommendations to people!

Friendly staff with massages. Going back to get another one and probably one more session for back problems. Went in with pain at 7 and left with 2. Very effective and glad I tried it

First time having acupuncture with Mr. Abdullah. I went to the Center with sciatic pain which I could hardly walk. He cured not only the CAUSE of my pain but he's treating other areas as well. I'm very pleased, indeed.

It is the frist time I have acupuncture. I was nervous at first but they answered all my questions and were very nice. I felt relaxed as soon as I walked in the office. The atmosphere in the office is great. Acupuncture is really working for me. I highly recommended.

Shaheed listens well, takes notes and responses to those needs. He is polite and friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They don't rush you out the door but give your treatment time to work. I am satisfied.

I was impressed by all of the services at HAHC. The massage therapist was wonderful and very concerned about my needs. She made sure she was firm enough but wasn't hurting me. My accupuncturist was also very good, finding the points that needed treating and efficiently placing the needles. While I'm not fully better, it certainly made a difference!

I had my first acupunctue with Shaheed yesterday and my headache was surpisingly gone when I left. I did not take any headache medicine for the first time in months. I am excited about this new treatment option and Shaheen made the experience relaxing in spite of those little needles sticking out of my body!
