Experience Deep Healing and Relief Through Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

When life feels overwhelming or your body is out of balance, it’s easy to feel like there’s no way back to feeling your best. Whether it’s chronic pain, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or the stress of everyday life, true healing takes more than just symptom management—it takes a holistic, compassionate approach. I would be honored to help you.

I’m Dr. Jorge Intal, a compassionate healer and acupuncturist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate pain, stress, and overall well-being. Known for my deeply calming presence and heart-centered approach, I combine the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern medicine to create a healing experience that addresses the body, mind, and spirit.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

I believe healing goes beyond treating symptoms. It’s about restoring balance to your body’s natural rhythms and nurturing the systems that support long-term health. My expertise spans a wide range of specialties, including:

✔️ Pain Relief & Inflammation – Addressing chronic pain, injury recovery, and inflammatory conditions
✔️ Stress & Anxiety Management – Helping you achieve emotional balance and calm
✔️ Hormonal Imbalances – Restoring balance to support energy, mood, and vitality
✔️ Sleep & Insomnia – Promoting restful, rejuvenating sleep
✔️ Digestive Health – Supporting gut function and resolving digestive discomfort
✔️ Overall Well-Being – Enhancing vitality, longevity, and quality of life
✔️ Chinese Medicine-Related Concerns – A comprehensive approach to holistic health

A Practitioner with Extensive Training & Experience

My journey into healing began with a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from Brown University, followed by a PhD from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, a clinical doctorate in acupuncture and Asian medicine, and a master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of practicing at Kaiser Permanente, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and several non-profit organizations across the Bay Area.

This extensive training allows me to treat a wide array of conditions using a patient-centered approach that is individualized for each person’s unique needs. I draw upon my understanding of the body’s interconnected systems to help my patients experience profound relief, restoration, and renewal.

Gentle Healing with a Powerful Touch

I am especially known for my gentle yet powerful approach to healing. One area I am particularly passionate about is supporting expectant mothers. Through acupuncture, I have helped many women navigate labors, and I am honored to support them in their journey toward motherhood.
