  • Acupuncture for Sciatica Pain V3
    Dec 8 2025

    Today Dr. Ashley interviews Dr. Deborah Ma, PhD, L.Ac, acupuncturist and owner of Puzzlesf.com a acupuncture clinic out in in the Mission District of San Francisco. We talk about how Chinese Meridians, reorienting the chi flow, and how a new technique called "cheek acupuncture" can be beneficial for those experiencing pain. We discuss the importance of understanding where the pain is coming from and that most of the time, the pain we feel is not the same location as the cause.

    Acupuncture is a great tool in recovery. You can reach Dr. Ma at her website puzzlesf.com
