Discover the Healing Power of Acupuncture
At ActiveMed, we believe in treating the root cause of your symptoms—not just masking them. Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most effective healing modalities in the world, and it’s at the heart of what we do. By stimulating specific points on the body using ultra-fine, sterile needles, acupuncture promotes natural healing, enhances circulation, and rebalances the body’s energy flow (Qi).
Many of our patients in Encinitas turn to acupuncture for relief from conditions such as:
Chronic pain (back, neck, joint)
Migraines and headaches
Anxiety and stress
Insomnia
Digestive disorders
Our licensed acupuncturists tailor each session to your unique needs, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and deeply relaxing experience.

Patients Love Our Staff
The team at ActiveMed brings an old but much needed mentality back into healthcare, which is the patient comes first. We are not just here to treat patients, we also take the time to get to know our patients. We believe healthcare does not stop with the physical but it is also an emotional connection between provider and patient.
Five stars.. not enough for what has been done for me. I know I have a road ahead but I know Dr. Matt, Dr. Karen, and Shawn have got me. Immense gratitude to ActiveMed. Oh PS..Make sure to check for Moses. Icing on the cake.
They all told me to to incorporate acupuncture into my recovery. I was a total skeptic, but when a spine surgeon tells you to try acupuncture, you try it…
When I first walked into the office and met Brett Rabin I could barely move. I’ve never felt so desperate for help in my entire life. Just touching my knees was not easy.
I’m not 100% out of the woods yet, but I cannot say enough good things about Brett and how he has helped me.
Thank You Brett…. You have been a huge part of me starting to feeling normal again and being able play with my kids again. I’m Grateful. 👊🏼
The office was pristine clean, the treatment I
Received for my fractured wrist helped and
Loved the topical herbs too. From the front
Desk to the technician it was a positive
Experience. I fell asleep for a few minutes
And had a lovely dream of a smiling 🌵 cactus.
I'm very hyper so anyone that puts me to
Sleep 💤 😴 is very excellent. Highly recommend
