Elemental Medicine is the practice of Dr. Andrea Arteaga, located in Encinitas, California. The practice describes its starting point as understanding the root cause of a person's discomfort, and it says healing should account for the whole person: body, mind and surroundings.
The therapeutic side of the practice centers on acupuncture, using fine needles at specific points, which can be adapted to acupressure on request. Other hands-on and traditional options include shiatsu, tui na massage, cupping, gua sha and Qi Gong. Qi Gong is offered as private sessions and as community classes. A far-infrared heated mat is placed on every treatment table and used in every treatment.
The aesthetic side offers dermatological treatments meant to support skin health. Microneedling uses tiny needles to reach the outer layer of skin, and derma needling uses fine needles in the deeper dermal layer, with both offered for fine lines, wrinkles and scarring. Red light therapy, which uses red and blue wavelengths, can be added to facial treatments. The practice states that its aesthetic treatments involve no injectables or fillers.
Every visit begins with a detailed conversation about the patient's history, pain and goals before a care plan is set. Practitioners use neuromuscular palpation to look for structural imbalances and compensatory patterns before treatment. The practice also publishes educational articles on acupuncture, pain management, aesthetic treatments and traditional Chinese medicine, and leads a free weekly outdoor breathwork and movement session called Moving Meditation that is open to all.
Treatment starts with understanding the root cause of a concern, using a thorough history and neuromuscular palpation before a personalized care plan is built.
