Life's Essence Clinic - Capitola, California

I am beyond grateful for the incredible healing I experienced with Yuval at Life Essence Acupuncture. I had been dealing with a herniated disc and synovial cyst for months, and my condition was so severe that surgery was being recommended by my doctor. I had already tried chiropractic care, physical therapy, and was even seeing a surgeon who advised me to move forward with surgery. That’s when I decided to give acupuncture a try, and I am so glad I did!

Yuval’s expertise and knowledge have completely changed my life. Not only did he help alleviate my pain through acupuncture, but he also taught me valuable techniques on posture, movement, and modified my workouts to prevent further injury. His holistic approach to healing was exactly what I needed to avoid surgery, and I’m thrilled to say that I was able to cancel the surgery.

I’m no longer reliant on pain medications like Aleve or Advil, and I feel stronger and more confident in my body. Yuval’s dedication to helping me heal, both physically and mentally, has made all the difference. I can’t thank him enough for his skill and guidance.

If you’re dealing with chronic pain or considering surgery, I highly recommend seeing Yuval. He truly cares about his patients’ well-being, and his treatments are nothing short of life-changing!

Yuval is a gifted healer, and he is not shy about it! That’s what makes him fun to be with during treatments! Also one of the reasons his patients love him!
I have suffered all my life with back problems and a great deal of pain. Since I have tried so many methods to find relief without success, I had given up!
I was talked into trying acupuncture, so I called around and was getting discouraged,
til a voice on the other end of the phone was full of knowledge! It was Yuval!
I’m in my 80’s, pain free most of the time,active,social,and so happy I walked through the door of Life’s Essence!

Started going to Yuval for pain associated with bulging disc. The comprehensive care (including traction & posture advice) had me feeling better by my 3rd session. Within 3 months I was 90% better. Highly recommend Yuval. His care & knowledge & positivity will not disappoint.

Yuval is a great acupuncturist, I had really painful tennis elbow and with some time and rest and Yuval’s treatments I am back in the MMA gym again for training! Go see Yuval he knows what he’s doing and really cares about getting his clients back to what they love to do !

Yuval has greatly helped me with intense back pain radiating down into my legs due to a disc herniation. I had many month of pain without any improvements. I was scheduled for surgery when I started seeing Yuval. His treatment knocked down the inflammation and severely reduced my pain levels. This enabled me to benefit more form PT and in the end I cancelled my surgery. He also helped me with some Chinese herbs when I had some sinus problems. I have gotten many acupuncture treatments in my life. I used to live with an acupuncturist/ traditional Chinese medicine doctor....so I am very picky. Yuval exceeded my expectations and I can highly recommend him.

Yuval helped me to resolve menopause-related health issues. He is highly skilled, very compassionate, and has a great sense of humor (which I truly appreciated). Yuval helped me through the acupuncture treatments plus navigating things with my other doctors. I am very grateful for his help!

Yuval is a compassionate healer. I have been seeing him for 6 years, and he is amazing. He’s helped me with chronic back pain, pregnancy, and post-partum issues, seasonal allergies, and more. He really listens when you explain pain and symptoms, and he uses many different modalities to help. I highly recommend Yuval!

Yuval has saved my quality of life. I am 78 years young and have been seeing him for four years now. I have severe arthritis in my neck and elsewhere. But when I started seeing him I was in constant pain and unable to do almost anything. He keeps me moving and gardening and cooking and making jam which makes me happy. I highly recommend him.
