My skills are in preventive medicine, the treatment of pain disorders, myofascial and orthopedic disorders, sports medicine, mental health, physical and emotional disorders of stress, anxiety and depression, internal medicine, cardiovascular disorders, women's health, and hospice and palliative care.
I consider each person's case as unique, highly personal, and fully integrated, emotionally, physically and mentally.

By combining my knowledge and experience both as a Western and Eastern medicine health care practitioner, I am able to provide an integrative approach to assessment and effective treatment, even for those who are very ill.
​
I provide the full range of Oriental Medicine including Acupuncture, Gua Sha, Cupping, Tuina, Herbal prescriptions, Nutritional and dietary support, as well as therapeutic movement instruction when necessary.

Carlos Sepulveda MS, LAc
June 4, 1972 - July 21, 2020
​
We are beyond heartbroken and devastated that our beloved Carlos Sepulveda passed away unexpectedly on July 21, 2020. He was a joyful, dedicated, loving, brilliant and talented member of our Niantic Acupuncture family and he was an incredible husband and father bear to his three children. We will all miss him more than we can express in words.
We understand this will affect many of you deeply and we welcome any communication by phone or email or comments on our facebook page where this is also posted.
