Kiyama Acupuncture Center

I had a knee surgery at age 15 back in the late 70s, and that joint has been an issue in my life ever since. I’m 53 now. I’d been used to occasional pain in the knee area, but weirdly I started experiencing intermittent throbbing pain down around my ankle, up along the back of my thigh, and a couple other places. I brought my condition to Daniel Kiyama to see what he could do.
What Daniel does so well is what conventional medical facilities do so poorly these days: ask, probe, listen, ask, listen, ask, listen… I was struck by the considerable detective work Daniel does before any therapy is begun. He wanted to get at the source of my pain, so that in addition to getting relief from acupuncture, I could also avoid activities or conditions that cause or aggravate the problem. Further, he recommended exercises and movements that might help make things better.
Daniel is not just there to sell an acupuncture session. Rather, he shares an extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology, treating the whole patient as opposed to an isolated symptom or ache.
I visited Daniel’s office a handful of times, and over that time the weird throbbing pains in my one leg diminished. They haven’t come back. Throughout those office visits, Daniel would always review where we’d been, then ask more follow-​up questions, which invariably led to additional insights about my health and lifestyle. It’s still tough to pin down what actually caused my pain, but we came to a theory that I could work with, and some recommendations to keep improving my well-​being.
If you like the idea of a practitioner who is thorough, takes adequate time to understand, and then provides an effective non-​drug therapy, please give Daniel Kiyama a try. You’ll probably get a positive health outcome, and a lot of education about your body and health as well.

The first time I met Daniel, I was nervous and quiet scared… I did not really know what was wrong with me. I was very sensitive to the weather and I had very low energy. Daniel’s presence is so calm, gentle, and patient that I immediately felt better already. He is extremely thorough, kind, thoughtful, and so knowledgeable. I always feel soooooooo much better after his wonderful treatments.
I could go on and on, but I will just say this… Daniel lives and works from his heart.
You do not run into many people like him. He truly cares about his patients and I am forever grateful to him. I never felt like a patient with just symptoms to cure… from the very beginning he treated me respect and dignity… I was a person first. I really appreciate that.
I have made so much progress since I started seeing Daniel. I can’t believe I almost forgot to mention, he has a REALLY great sense of humor. Trust me, when you’re not feeling well, laughter is so refreshing. Give him a try, he is a really great acupuncturist.
Thank you sooooooooooooo much Daniel! Your in a league of your own… awesomeness!!!

Thank you Daniel — after months without relief from tendinitis in my elbow, 5 acupuncture sessions with Daniel has rendered my elbow pain free and relieved discomfort in my shoulder. Daniel’s calm demeanor and approach made the sessions relaxing, adding stress relief to the benefits of treatment. Although new to acupuncture, I would not hesitate to contact Daniel again in the future. I highly recommend Daniel to new patients especially those where traditional medicine has not yielded satisfactory results.

I’ve been seeing Daniel in his office on Palo Verde in Long Beach, CA. He is fabulous. I have a blood vessel abnormality in my lower leg and no traditional Doctor will touch it. It has been extremely painful for 20+ years and without any traditional medicine options, I went to Dr Kiyama hoping he could do Something to reduce my pain. He was very thoughtful and put together a treatment plan that he thought might help. He first did a stress reduction treatment and then treated my leg specifically and I am AMAZED! I have been virtually pain free for several months (only 2 bad days). I can’t believe it myself but he has helped SO much. He also has changed some of my vitamins to more organic ones– so I feel better that way too.

Daniel is the best, if you can break it he can fix it. Thanks for all the help over the years. Arigato Daniel-​Sensei

Absolutely one of the best! I originally went to see Daniel about stress relief but was surprised to find that he is also trained in using kinesio tape. I’ve had this done before for my original neck/​shoulder injury about a year ago from a chiropractor but he was much more descriptive in the purpose and placement of the tape. He noticed my cervical spine had a really dramatic curve (not good!) Which I knew was from past ligament damage per a car accident, so, he worked his magic – after an already very relaxing and rejuvinating Acu-​treatment – on my neck and gave me some exercises for home. Within a week: my head was actually sitting properly over my body! 80% reduction in pain/​restriction. I would recommend Kiyama Acupuncture to anyone looking for stress relief, heightened health and alignment!
