Alina Moser, D.C. L.Ac., Licensed Acupuncturist & Chiropractor 

alina's goal is to work with patients to spark the innate healing potential of the human body.

I graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic and the College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Southern California University of Health Sciences. I received a Doctorate degree in Chiropractic and a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Prior to this, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles.

I was born in the Bay Area and raised in Hawaii. After completing my studies, I moved back to the island of Oahu and had the opportunity to practice at a thriving clinic. I am currently licensed as an acupuncturist in both California and Hawaii and a licensed chiropractor in California. My treatments are unique as I can perform both acupuncture and chiropractic therapy in one integrated session. I treat a wide variety of conditions, but specialize in pain management, women’s health, fertility, stress management, sports injuries, and preventative care.

As each individual’s needs and symptoms may differ, my goal is to work together to spark the innate healing potential of the human body. I am passionate about helping patients of all ages restore or maintain balance using various methods. Treatments may include: acupuncture needling, electro-acupuncture stimulation, cupping, chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, herbal remedies and nutritional supplementation or counseling. I am also a certified Reiki practitioner. This allows me to further harmonize the mind, body, and spirit.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family, hiking, practicing yoga, weight training, and exploring my new surroundings on the beautiful Central Coast.

 I am a State Board Licensed Acupuncturist/Herbalist and have been practicing Traditional Oriental Medicine since 2001. I received my Master’s degree from Emperor's College with internships at Emperor's Clinic, Daniel Freeman Hospital, and UCLA Ashe Center. 

After having a private practice in Torrance, CA for 20 years, I had the opportunity to move to the Central Coast. My husband & I often came to this beautiful area, and we knew this is where we wanted to be.

My passion is providing alternative care for my patients using multiple modalities in a safe and gentle manner. Using the healing principles of mind-body medicine I help my patients by balancing the energy systems so the body can heal itself.
