I was visiting the San Diego area in July. I took a chance using the web to find someone that performed dry needling. I could not have made a better decision. Eyton was outstanding and exceeded my expectations both from a dry needling standpoint as well as someone that cares tremendously about his patients. If you are in the San Diego area and in need of dry needling, I highly recommend Body Mind Wellness Center (Eyton). Thanks again

Eyton Shalom is such a kind hearted, gentle and caring soul. I appreciate his wealth of knowledge , his great sense of humor and his excellent skill. I have severe needle phobia but he has a very gentle way of needling me that I keep returning numerous times for the calming after effects of each treatment. I highly recommend him , he will not disappoint!

Eyton Shalom at Body Mind Wellness Center has helped me drastically improve my health through acupuncture, Ayurveda, and Chinese herbal medicine. I originally sought acupuncture for a host of health issues stemming from a chronic illness, including chronic IBS, bloating, rosacea, cystic acne, PMS, hormone imbalance, and extreme back pain and sciatica caused by a bulging disc. I was a mess. Eyton took the time to get my complete health history as well as learn about my lifestyle, diet, stress level, and the kinds of treatments and medicines Ive had before. Hes been able to help me heal my body through acupuncture but also Chinese herbs and other natural treatments. Ive had four sessions so far, and my face and skin has improved so much and I have zero back pain, which Ive been struggling with for years. My digestive system is also much happier! If you have a chronic illness or symptoms that traditional or Western doctors cant seem to identify or treat, I would highly recommend Body Mind Wellness Center.

Body Mind Wellness Center has been fantastic to get treatment from. Eyton has been awesome and knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to dry needling/ acupuncture. He has helped treat a multitude of issues Ive had including lower/ middle back pain as well as digestive issues. I highly recommend going to Body Mind Wellness Center!

Extremely effective! So much so that I drive from LA to SD to have him treat my foot.

Dr. Shalom is clearly a master with over 20 years’ experience. He is both highly skilled and highly compassionate. He helped me get back my lung capacity after having COVID last March. I’m breathing much better and feel that the muscles in my chest and neck are relaxed like never before. He also took extra time to teach me some helpful mindfulness exercises and gave me some complimentary herbal tea.Overall I’d highly recommend him to anyone for mental/emotional as well as physical rebalancing. He’s fantastic!

I see Eyton for acupuncture to help manage eczema flare-ups. Hes extremely knowledgeable about how to treat skin conditions using acupuncture and homeopathic herbs and blends. Ive been visiting him weekly for a month and my eczema flare-ups have been non-existent most days, and way less uncomfortable and dramatic on the days when Ive reacted to allergens. I look forward to my weekly appointments because I know Ill gain more insight into how acupuncture works and how I can control my skin condition from the inside out.

Eyton is the best, I consulted him for GERD and allergy symptoms. He listens to you and explains everything in a relatable way, which makes sense and you will be on track for recovery. I treated with acupuncture and herbs which helped me a lot. Would have given more stars if its possible.

The Mind Body Wellness Center has had a profound impact on my health and I look forward to each visit. Eyton’s helped my foot, shoulder and tailbone get back on track to proper functioning and health.

Ive now seen Dr. Shalom for 6-7 visits for a chronic lower back problem (I have a pretty large bulging disc) that has kept me in pain virtually every day for the past 18 months. At times to debilitating levels. I had tried epidural injections, PT, (more traditional) acupuncture, various chiropractors, various exercises and several other things to try to put me back on a path of healing. A friend of mine suggested seeing Eyton and I was initially curious to also try ayurveda and cupping to see if that would help. I wasnt familiar with dry needling beforehand.After a few visits I started noticing significant improvements, something I was hoping for obviously, but didnt have expectations for after all the other things I had tried with little success. I am now at a state where the majority of my pain is gone and while I can still feel that my bulging disc is there, it is not pulling my back so much out of alignment and my muscles are much less prone to spasming. As I started the treatments, I was unable to walk or stand more than 5 minutes without serious spasms in the back, but now I am able to do virtually all the things I could do before, with much less discomfort and I feel that the dry needling in particular has done miracles.Not only have I been very happy with the actual results I have seen, it is also worth emphasizing the empathic and compassionate approach Eyton takes in helping his patients. He takes the time to really personalize, evaluate and continually customize the treatment program.I can highly recommend Eyton if you too have experienced chronic/intense lower back problems and am sure he will make you as happy a camper and put you back on a healing path as he did for me.

Eyton was very patient in explaining the process of dry needling. Not to mention, he was able to relieve pain that I thought was impossible to do after suffering for many years. I highly recommend trying it out, you wont regret it.

In my limited experience of seeking eastern ideal type medicine for my 2+ years now of back pain from a snowboarding incident. I came to Eyton after, what I believe was a plateau in my recovery from Physical therapy and yoga. Dry needling and cupping was the next step in my progression to a full recovery. It has been four treatments later, along with a self movtivation on my behalf, we are now again on the incline to a full recovery, as i see and feel the progressions move forward again. All in thanks to Mr. Eyton and his due diligence, and wealth of knowledge and experience, and with character!

I trust Eyton because he is a highly skilled acupuncturist. He treats me for chronic back and neck pain with dry needling and cupping. His treatments give me much relief unlike other types of acupuncture Ive experienced. He is also an expert in Chinese Medicine to treat other conditions like insomnia, anxiety, allergies, and womens health.

Eyton helped me clear up my acne with herbal remedies. He has very extensive knowledge of many kinds of supplements and found the best one for my situation. Thank you, Eyton!

Eyton Shalom is probably the best therapist I have been to in years and I have tried a lot of different treatments for my chronic lower back pain. Eyton takes his time to evaluate the source of your pain and comes up with a strategy. His treatment feels never rushed. We tried a combination of dry needling and cupping for my psoas, gluteus medius and hip flexor muscles. I felt a huge difference after the first treatment. Eyton will adjust the dry needling treatment according to your sensitivity since this can be very delicate depending on the muscle group that is treated. I have tried a couple of different dry needle therapist but Eyton is by far the most experienced one since he developed his own technique. I highly recommend him!

Eyton is an incredibly knowledgable healer; I say healer because his expertise are truly curated to your specific needs through a variety of eastern techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicines, dry needling and other Ayurvedic practices.Ive been an athlete/athletic my whole life, and as a result Ive been dealing with chronic pain that have compounded over the years. I would schedule regular deep tissue and sports massages, practice Yoga, take my vitamins, you name it. Everything I did provided temporary soothing, but thats just it-- the relief was fleeting. I didnt feel as though I was getting deep enough to the root of the pain, and I was exhausted of always hurting and having nothing change long-term. The final tipping point was when a numbness began encroaching through my ring and pinky fingers, and would eventually shoot an electrifying tingle up the tendons in my forearm. It would happen when I lifted my arms above my head or wake me in the middle of the night. I went to chiropractors, scheduled more massages, tried stretching more, but to no avail, nothing seemed to be reversing this new ailment.Ive been seeing Eyton for approx. six months now, and thanks to his help and the knowledge he brings to the table, weve begun implementing a regime of acupuncture, cupping as well as some herbal remedies that have made a dramatic difference in how I feel on an on-going basis, and have been the only thing thats made a difference with the numbing scare. This has not only improved my ability to maintain an active lifestyle, but has greatly improved my mood, stamina and sleep.I truly recommend that you give Eyton a shot if youre looking to improve areas of your health and pain management.

I highly recommend Eyton, I came in with severe indigestion pain. After 2 months of taking Prilosec (which is only supposed to be taken for 14 days and since has been taken off the shelf’s by the FDA) and a scheduled endoscopy, I was recommended to try Accupuncture as my niece had been a client to treat her acne with Accupuncture (indigestion also cause major acne breakout). I entrusted Eyton to stop all prescribed medicine and after 3 treatments alone with his recommended herbs and Ayurveda medicine (and his amazing temple tea) i was finally free of pain and discomfort. It’s been 2 years and continue to see the benefits from his treatments. I have also treated hip pain and acne and have seen the results. I cannot imagine not having Accupuncture as part of my wellness! I have visited a handful different Accupuncturists and none compare to the results I get with Eyton Shalom at BodyMind Wellness Center.

I have been seeing Eyton for years for everything from sinus headaches, to shoulder pain, to upper & lower back tension. Eyton has a dry needling technique for any and all ailments! I go to Eyton because I do not like taking medications to mask symptoms that end up causing other problems. His bedside manner is attentive and thorough. Eyton applies his vast knowledge to healing and giving you value beyond immediate pain relief.

My friend recommended me to go to Eyton for my anxiety and persistent insommia. The first visit was quite long (about 3 hours!), since he likes to really know the patient and the circumstances behind the health issue. After the introductory interview, he proceeded with an acupuncture session, and before leaving he recommended me the Temple tea to drink at nighttime. Whatever it was, that night I slept like a log!I have been going since then once a month to get treated for menstrual pain, anxiety and insommia. All my issues have improved notably thanks to Eyton’s treatment, which include acupuncture and Chinese herbs.Eyton is very personable, very good at explaining things, and has a sense of humor, which makes the experience very enjoyable, in spite all the needles involved!

Eyton provides a healing environment! He is clean and professional, while also deeply empathetic. I saw him for a variety of symptoms and he helped me with each one! I was also able to purchase high quality herbs from him as well. I highly recommend him!

Acupuncture for Shoulder PainI was referred to Eyton Shalom by a friend that highly recommended him for pain relief. I had been to an acupuncturist for a shoulder injury in the past so I was not expecting that after my 1st treatment with Eyton Shalom I would notice a difference. But I did! After my 1st treatment my shoulder pain was lessened and I was excited for more. I have now had 5 treatments with Eyton and am impressed with his skills and attentive and intuitive approach. He really listens and gets deep into your history to figure out what is needed to best service you. As a byproduct of releasing my shoulders, my carpal tunnel pain has also improved.Eyton is dependable and responds to questions I have in between treatments in a timely manner, with a positive attitude. He does not make me feel that I am bothering him.If you are looking for someone that will help relieve your pain through acupuncture, look no further! Eyton Shalom is your man!

Eyton Shalom is wonderful. I went to see him for excessive menstrual bleeding. He was super knowledgeable and the ayurvedic herbs he gave me worked their magic along with his accupuncture treatments. I have been to other accupuncturists but never have I had results like I did with Eyton. I am so thankful that I found him. I am much better now because of his wisdom and expertise.

I could not have found a more effective, caring, and intuitive healer than Eyton Shalom. After spending years trying to find a non-surgical, natural solution to my prolapsed bladder, I had the best results from him. My days have gone from a constant, painful awareness of the prolapse to days I forget completely about it! And all of this relief from herbs and acupuncture.He has also given me relief from chronic depression and lack of energy. He addresses the mind AND the body, takes time to really listen to me, and I value his knowledge. Grateful to have found him.

I recently was referred to Doctor Eyton Shalom, and I have been receiving treatment from him for several ailments, including a painful skin rash, a very tender achilles heel, and a facial tick.His approach is very intuitive. He is highly intelligent and pays very close attention to every thing I relate to him regarding my physical complaints. He does not administer treatment or prescribe herbal supplements without first conducting proper research, to ensure the best approach.I consider him to be highly competent, truly caring, and I very much enjoy that he shares his thoughts and theories as to the cause of these various ailments. I highly recommend his services.

Review №25

I came into Eytons clinic crooked and stiff because of extreme lower back pain which made me sedentary for almost a year. I have been going to physical therapy, but it seemed like I hit a plateau. Eyton warmly received me and scheduled me for an appointment right away even if my insurance documents were not ready just yet. He walked me through everything, and is very thorough in explaining details and questions about the treatments.A few days after my first visit, I knew Eyton worked wonders. The lower back pain I had was significantly decreased and I was able to walk a much longer distance without pain. After my second treatment, I was already able to jog. The pain is not completely gone just yet, but so much has improved after only three visitsIf someone is experiencing lower back pain and really wants it cured, Eyton Shalom is the person to go to. He literally helped me get back on my feet. I am sure he will do the same for anyone else.

I started seeing Eyton Shalom last year for IBS, IC, asthma, and muscular pain. The first thing I noticed with my first visit was how comfortable I felt talking to him. I truly feel that he listens to all my concerns and asks meticulous questions in order to better understand my mental, emotional, and physical health. I appreciate the time he takes to explain Chinese and Ayurvedic philosophy and his approach to my treatments. Other than acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, and prescribing chinese herbs, he has also helped me figure out a diet with less IBS and IC flare ups, and has taught me how to meditate. Through his multifaceted method, I have significantly less asthma symptoms and reduced muscular, IBS, and IC pain. I recommend him highly because of his vast knowledge and experience, friendliness, honesty, and that I feel treated like a whole person in his care.

I played Minor League baseball for 5 seasons as a pitcher and towards the end of my career, hurt my shoulder, more specifically the labrum. In attempt to avoid surgery I visited Eyton who with his acupuncture techniques, helped eased the pain and allowed me to continue to use my shoulder, pain free without surgery. He is very knowledgeable and truly gets results. So much so, that my wife visits him for different aches and pains in her back that flare up. I strongly recommend anyone who has pain issues to visit Eyton.

I began my healing journey with Eyton Shalom at Body Mind Wellness Center for the treatment of an acute knee injury. I had dislocated my patella playing soccer and my knee was in pretty bad shape. His acupuncture treatments were highly effective in reducing inflammation and minimizing pain during the rehab process. While my knee was healing, I began to work with Eyton on some longer term chronic health issues as well. He has treated me for irritable bowel syndrome, helping to improve my digestion with a combination of acupuncture, Chinese medicine/herbs and Ayurveda, including nutrition advice and supplements. His treatments have also helped to minimize my anxiety, balance my hormones (he’s a lifesaver when I’ve been struggling with PMS), and reduce skin inflammation including acne and eczema. I’ve been to a number of acupuncturists and herbalists over the past 15 years, and what I love about Eyton (and what keeps me coming back month after month!) is his expertise in a combination of holistic approaches and his kindness in care. He is genuinely interested in my health and well-being, and every treatment is catered to my exact needs at that day in time. I always leave his office feeling rejuvenated, balanced and relaxed, and the long term benefits of my treatments with him are quite evident. My skin has never looked more radiant and my digestion is the best it has been in years. I recommend you visit Eyton for any health challenge you need support with – he’ll know exact the right combination of treatments to support your whole body healing.

Review №29

I wholeheartedly recommend Eyton, including for people who dont like needles.I did not have experience with acupuncture before visiting Eyton, and was not particularly open to it, as I HATE needles. However, I have had a chronic (10 yrs +) shoulder tension problem that leaves me in almost constant pain. I read an article in the paper about the success of dry needling, and found Eyton through a google search.Eyton has helped me manage my shoulder pain (I try to see him every other week). He has also helped me with an array of other problems. For example, I suffered a bad head injury that left me with a foggy brain and headaches for months. He was able to help me with both acupuncture treatments and herbs.I really enjoy my visits, despite my initial hatred of needles, and often fall asleep on the table. I never feel like Eyton is on the clock. He often spends 2 hours with me during an appointment!Bottom line - if something is ailing you, try seeing Eyton! his treatments really work!

Eyton is incredible! I receive herbs from him for my anxiety and i cant beleive his intuitive nature, he picked the most effective herb for me. Eyton is very professional and such a delight to see him every month! I highly recommend working on your person, in a very holistic manner, with Eyton Shalom, its by far worth it!

Review №31

Eyton is THE MAN! I am a 57 y/o retired naval officer who has suffered with chronic headaches my whole life. Eyton (aka Dr. Needles) had me pain free after 7 treatments. His extensive background in all types of medicine and willingness to listen, combined with his desire to cure any illness/injury, sets him apart from other medical practitioners. Most doctors give you the bums rush because they are so backlogged with patients. Eyton, on the other hand, spends considerable time (hours) talking, listening and working with you to provide the best treatment possible. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Review №32

Ive suffered from digestion issues my whole life. Ive seen specialist after specialist and have travelled to Asia to seek help from herbalists to only find temporary treatments and medicines. Through my experience, herbal medicine seemed to be the most effective, so I decided to try acupuncture...the best thing Id ever done.Before Eyton, I was regularly seeing a nutritionist and through analyzing my blood work, I learned that I couldnt digest carbs or protein, was lacking nutrition and energy and was incredibly toxic. Ive been a patient of Eytons for over 2 years now and through his treatments, my digestion has improved immensely, bloating has gone down and skin has cleared up. I recently went back to my nutritionist to see how my body was doing and the results showed that I was digesting food properly, and everything was back to normal. Eyton has truly changed my life and my quality of living.

I visited BMWC for treatment for diverticulitis. I had seen a ton of physicians and was in a lot of pain. Eyton treated me for the emotional distress due to the physical pain and also addressed the symptoms of diverticulitis thoroughly. He recommended herbs that knocked out the pain I had been in for over a month. I also received great dietary advice to avoid such issues in the future. Thank you BMWC for treating me like a human and listening to and addressing all of my symptoms. Acupuncture, Moxi and herbs worked to bring me back to the old me only better.

Eyton is a very educated and knowledgable healer, with groundings in both Eastern and Western medicine. He is also fun and interesting to talk with. Most important of all, he was able to help me with my neck pain, which a ommunity clinic was not able to do. It had been unhealed for over 7 weeks (from a yoga injury). I was very concerned that Id have to go to a regular doctor and get x-rays, cortisone injections, maybe surgery...While he was more expensive than the (very inexpensive) community acupuncture clinic, he was worth it: he educated me about what was happening in my neck, and helped heal the problem with his very precisely targeted needles. Theres no point in saving money if your reason for going isnt addressed. Ive been back to him many times since then.
