This treatment is beneficial for a wide range of conditions including reducing symptoms of pain, PTSD, anxiety, stress, migraines, insomnia, diabetes, weight loss, allergies and much more. Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
At The Inn Spot Community Acupuncture & Stress Relief Lounge, all of our acupuncturists are licensed and board certified. We use hair-thin needles, making the experience of acupuncture treatment much different than an injection, in order to stimulate specific acupuncture points on your body.
Gua sha is an ancient massage technique used to reduce pain and muscle tension. A round-edged tool such as a jade stone or ceramic spoon is applied to the skin with massage oil. Benefits of gua sha are increased local blood circulation and breakdown of scar tissue.
Cupping has been used in traditional medicines for thousands of years across the globe in Asia, Europe, Middle East, and North America. Its widespread popularity is easily understood, as it improves circulation, stimulates detoxification, releases muscle tension and resets fascia to help relieve pain.
We utilize a truly holistic model of Eastern and Western medical perspectives to deliver the most functional approach to care for our patients. With a great emphasis on patient education and empowerment, we strive to provide a compassionate and caring wellness center designed to foster an environment conducive to healing of the body, mind, and spirit for us all.
At The Inn Spot, we aim to improve mankind and the global environment by providing holistic healthcare to as many individuals as possible. We believe this will improve their overall quality of life, encourage individuals to become empowered to take charge of their own health, and enable them to make their fullest contribution to the betterment of society and the world.

It was super AMAZING!! I was really nervous about trying acupressure and acupuncture, but he did a great job at reminding me to breathe and he made it a very calming experience!! It was my first time, but I cant wait to go again! I would HIGHLY recommend anybody and everybody to see him! I can’t wait for my next visit! Thank you again
Such a compassionate owner. I feel amazing after one session. I cannot wait to go again and I’m so grateful to have met them! Thank you. Living in pain and with PTSD is manageable thanks to #theinnspot!
I went for the first time today. It was SO relaxing. I had never had acupuncture before this – I’ll be going back very soon. The people are professional, totally chill and supportive. They truly listen to your wants and/or fears. I was please to see Thomas’ dog there as well. Helped to put me at ease as I didn’t know what to expect.
This seems more like a mission than a business. The doctors here are caring, morally driven, and effective. It's amazing how well the treatments work!
This place is the absolute best spot to get Accupuncture treatments! An amazing relaxing professional setting! 5 stars isn't enough! I highly highly recommend going to see Dr. McIntyre and... Read More Guy the owner and all the other specialists!
The Inn Spot is the "In-Spot"
As an acupuncture virgin, I wasn't sure as to what to expect and that induced a little anxiety. I'm not particularly scared of needles, so I suppose the anxiety stemmed... Read More from fear of the unknown. Fortunately for me, this experience was nothing but positive and now I'm left to desperately seek out a comparable acupuncture clinic on my home turf!
I had my appointment with Jackie and she was nothing short of delightful. Knowing that I had never had acupuncture before, she thoroughly (but not overwhelmingly, if that makes sense) explained the procedure, the benefits, and how to achieve and maximize the effects of acupuncture. We chatted a little about the concerns I wanted to address - which was anxiety and insomnia and she got to needling me up!
Not that I have a point of comparison, but her acupuncture technique was pretty flippin' flawless. I barely felt the needles enter! I always assumed I would feel enough pain to involuntarily twitch, but that was not the case. Granted, it is slightly more painful around the ear area, which she warned me about, but nowhere near intolerable. I was alone to chillax a bit, which I didn't really do because you know, the whole anxiety thing. But I can definitely see how some people may utilize this time to take a nap, or perhaps play on their phone.
Anyway, once Jackie returned, she stressed the importance of regularly receiving acupuncture to see optimal effects. And man, it's such a shame I don't live in San Diego, but I would for sure become a regular here if that were the case.
This place has an extra special authentic place where you feel like your in a temple getting healed. All staff is friendly, approachable and thoughtful in their approach. Highly recommended,... Read More I was seen my Jacqueline for my first time ever acupuncture, she was gentle and patient with my anxiety/fear of needles. It's also great they have an affordable option to do community acupuncture for everybody to try.
When I came in for the first time I was a little nervous, as I had never had acupuncture before, but as soon as I walked in, I was comfortable.... Read More The office had a calming atmosphere and the staff were friendly, answering any questions I had.
I came out of there feeling calm and renewed. I recommend acupuncture to all my friends now, and I tell them to go to the Inn Spot.
A couple days ago I had my first acupuncture experience ever. I was a bit nervous, but excited at the same time. My first impression of the space was inviting... Read More and calming; definitely what I needed! Guy was present to welcome me into The Inn Spot just as I would welcome a friend into my home.
While still a little bit shy to the experience, I was thankful to have Jacqueline (Jackie) was my acupuncturist. She has such an uplifting spirit and her passion to help people through acupuncture is palpable. She helped ease my nervousness by making me feel comfortable and talking through the process, as well as educating me on what/why she was doing throughout our session.
I am looking forward to return to The Inn Spot soon! Thank you Guy & Jackie for such amazing service!
Dr Thomas Noonan has been my acupuncture provider for over a year and I cannot say enough about this marvelous young man! He is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in all... Read More aspects of his practice of acupuncture and always, always takes the time to answer any and all questions before and after a treatment. He is very gentle and my comfort during the treatments has always been of the utmost importance to him. He has always gone out of his way to make sure that I understand how the acupuncture treatment or cupping treatment is helping to heal and treat whatever physical issue I am having. He is extremely kind, courteous and respectful and he is just a plain old decent human being and his caring nature is genuine. I highly recommend Dr Noonan if you are seeking acupuncture treatment. He is amazing!
The only reason I am giving this facility a 4 is because an encounter I had with the so called "Manager" of this facility.
I understand Juliana is fairly new to the clinic and I guess she is still learning the do's and don't's about customer service. Right now her customer service skills are abysmal. She will very much let you know SHE is in charge but will not go very far to work with you to problem solve regarding scheduling issues or any other issues it seems.
My encounter with her was incredibly distasteful and unproductive and left me feeling frustrated and totally devalued as a person and a client.
I highly suggest, that if you do choose Dr. Noonan to be your acupuncture provider, deal directly with him when scheduling appointments and circumvent interacting with Juliana all together. He IS a problem solver and he goes out his way to show that his clients are valued!!
Guy and his fellow acupuncturists are well trained and experienced. But beyond that Guy and his staff are really into teaching you about the benefits of acupuncture and the other... Read More treatments they offer at The Inn Spot. Guy and his colleagues involved with Acupuncturist Without Borders have volunteered countless hours performing free treatments in the local community, offering free acupuncture treatments to First Responders, Veterans, and others. I have been to the INN Spot twice and I have benefitted from the treatments I have received. I feel more calm and relaxed. The community rooms are clean and super comfortable. The Inn Spot has a nice energy and Guy and his staff maintain a positive professional vibe. I would highly recommend The INN Spot if you are considering acupuncture or massage. Guy also has a nice selection of products for sale as well.
This place is amazing! I went in today and wasn't sure what I needed they gave me a treatment for stress relief and it was so good! Also, they do... Read More have free stress relief for military families and veterans! Give it a try, it's wonderful.
