Summit Health Group provides acupuncture care to patients from Malibu, Point Dume, Malibu Colony, and surrounding coastal communities. Our Thousand Oaks clinic is a scenic 25 to 35 minute drive from Malibu via Kanan Dume Road or Malibu Canyon Road, offering a professional clinical environment where your comfort and your health are the only priorities. Our licensed acupuncturist draws on deep training in Traditional Chinese Medicine to deliver targeted, effective treatment for pain, tension, stress, and a wide range of conditions that respond well to natural, hands-on care.
Acupuncture takes a different approach from conventional pain management. Rather than focusing narrowly on symptoms, it works with the body’s own systems to promote healing from within. Fine, sterile needles placed at specific points along the body’s meridians help restore balance to the nervous system, improve blood flow to damaged or inflamed tissue, and release deeply held tension. For Malibu patients who prefer a treatment approach that is both effective and aligned with a wellness-oriented lifestyle, acupuncture is a natural choice.
Natural Healing for a Body in Constant Motion
Life in Malibu is defined by movement: surfing, paddleboarding, running along the coast, hiking through the canyons, and spending long hours outdoors in one of the most physically engaging environments in Southern California. That lifestyle keeps the body strong, but it also creates wear patterns that accumulate over time. Tight shoulders from paddling, lower back strain from long drives on PCH, joint stiffness from repetitive activity, and the mental toll of a demanding schedule can all take root if left unaddressed. Acupuncture provides a way to reset, helping your body recover from what you put it through and stay resilient for what comes next.
Malibu patients seek acupuncture at Summit Health Group for a broad range of concerns, including:
Your acupuncturist begins with a thorough evaluation of your health history, daily demands, and treatment goals. From there, a personalized care plan is developed and refined over time, with each session building on the progress of the last.

Yes. Acupuncture is commonly used to support recovery from sports-related strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. It helps by reducing inflammation at the injury site, relaxing surrounding muscles, and promoting circulation to accelerate the body’s natural repair process. Many athletes and active individuals also use acupuncture as a preventive tool, scheduling periodic sessions to keep their body balanced and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Conventional pain management often relies on medications, injections, or surgical intervention to address symptoms. Acupuncture takes a different approach by working with the body’s own healing systems. It stimulates specific points to regulate nerve activity, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, addressing the underlying causes of pain rather than masking them. Many patients use acupuncture as an alternative to long-term medication use or as a complement to their existing treatment plan.
Absolutely. While acupuncture is well known for its effectiveness in treating pain, many patients use it proactively to support overall health. Regular sessions can help manage stress, improve sleep quality, boost energy levels, support digestion, and maintain the body’s natural balance. Preventive acupuncture is especially popular among patients who lead physically demanding lifestyles and want to stay ahead of potential issues before they develop.
Yes. Our clinic at 55 Rolling Oaks Drive, Suite 100 in Thousand Oaks is approximately 25 to 35 minutes from most Malibu neighborhoods.
