Aculibrium

I have been seeing Dr. Block for about a month for a variety of ailments. The first thing I noticed when I arrived for my first session is how neat the waiting area is. I was greeted by both Dr. Block and an office staff person (forgot his name) who were both warm and friendly. For my intake, Dr. Block took a lot of time getting the necessary information for treatments. She always asks how I am feeling at the beginning and end of treatments. The center is clean and welcoming. It has only been a few treatments but I am noticing some improvements already!

Got a Unilocal deal here, and I went in for an acupuncture session for a shoulder issue. She treated me for other general body stresses as well, and I walked out feeling better already. I will go back when I need more sessions. The only complaint is that the walls are think, so I would bring headphones if you really want to relax, but it didn’t bother me too much.

Had a great experience and aculibrium. Great people to work with and completely pain free experience. I feel so much better for coming in!

Dr. Melissa is really great. She does a very thorough exam and really gets to know you and your health issues. I’ve had several treatments with her now and she is a true healer. She is very friendly and really puts you at ease, and she really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her!

I found Melissa on Unilocal.I had done Acupuncture a couple of times at another spot in Santa Monica. I was told at this previuos place I would need to figure out if my insurance would cover it, and as difficult as that seemed, I opted to just pay the per time rate … then after moving and seeking out an acupuncture spot closer to my new ‘hood, I found Melissa and she did the dirty work w/​my insurer and surprise, I am covered! My 3 sessions so far have been great. I was on Prednisone for 5 months so I was looking to get my body back to normal working order. Melissa is thorough and comes across very genuine in her comments and thoughts in each treatment. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to try acupuncture!

I decided to try Acupuncture because I was stressed and had some back pain from constantly caring my two year old on my hip. My friend recommended Melissa and I could not be more thrilled. She is professional, friendly, kind and truly wants to help. I look forward to coming and relaxing and leaving feeling so much better, less stressed and the cupping has really helped my back. I recommend Melissa and Aculibrium to anyone looking into getting treatment with acupuncture.

After struggling with Hashitmotos Thyroiditis for twenty years, I was deeply impressed with Dr. Melissa Snyder when, as a result of our work together, my thyroid anti body levels dropped to that of a healthy person without the disease. I am now taking half of the thyroid supplementation I did before coming to Aculibrium. My energy is more consistent and my overall constitution is stronger.
I find Dr. Snyder to be a receptive and intuitive listener. She is a skillful acupuncturist who is present, considerate, dedicated and kind.

After injuring my lower back moving furniture I knew I needed more help than taking ibuprofen and sleeping with a heating pad could offer. I called Dr. Melissa Snyder Block and was able to get an appointment the very next day! I was very nervous as I had never tried acupuncture before. Dr. Snyder Block was very professional and personable, my nerves calmed down immediately.
I’ve now had 4 treatments for my acute lumbago (fun word she taught me!) and am just about healed. I recommend Aculibrium to anyone who is interested in getting treated!
Thank you Dr. Snyder Block!

I’ve been going to Melissa for many months and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful for quite a few ailments. She treats the whole body and pays extra care to make sure everything is healing nicely. On top of that Melissa is always so friendly and personable that visiting her office is always a pleasure! I highly recommend a visit to Aculibrium! :)

I found Melissa online after struggling with ‘Occipital Neuralgia” a condition in which the occipital nerves are inflamed and they cause massive pain that radiates from the neck to the scalp. I was bed ridden for weeks. The medications that the doctors prescribed were making me feel worse until my doctor recommended that I try acupuncture. I must admit, at first I was very skeptical. Long story short… after seeing Melissa twice a week, the pain subsided by 50% and now I’m about 90% better. I have continued treatments with her on a monthly basis. I’m convinced that it was acupuncture and Melissa’s expertise that made the world of a difference. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!

A few weeks before my L.A. marathon, I decided to try acupuncture for my injuries since I was to inpatient for the physical therapy prescribed to me. Finding Melissa was the best thing for me and my running. Not only did she help me get through the marathon with her amazing healing hands, but she has continued to treat me for various other issues. The facility is so clean, she is so professional and she genuinely cares about her patients getting better and getting the right treatment. I highly recommend trying Aculibrium for both physical and mental health!

Aculibrium is wonderful. I am so grateful to Dr. Melissa Snyder and her practice. I have been seeing Melissa for about a month now and so far I am amazed. She is incredibly dedicated and knowledgeable about acupuncture without having unrealistic expectations on her clients. She is always responsive, helpful and most importantly, her treatments are effective. I would definitely recommend Aculibrium.

I have grown up with acupuncture. My dad was practicing before I was born, & I’ve had treatments all my life– from him and many others. I’m very picky about acupuncturists and I’ve had trouble finding someone I trust in Los Angeles (Dad doesn’t live in CA).
Now I’m expecting a baby. Melissa was recommend to me for labor preparation a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier.
Her treatments have helped me with pain & hormone balancing. I’ll keep seeing her long after I have the baby.
I have finally found my acupuncturist!
Melissa is great!
I’d send my Dad to her if he were in town.
I took my husband to her for neck pain & he felt instant relief.
Her wellness center also offers Chiropractic Treatments, Pilates, & Yoga Classes. I haven’t tried any of these yet, but plan to start as soon as I can.
Thank you Melissa!

3 weeks ago I was rear-​ended and my car was totaled. Needless to say I’m lucky to be alive. Two days after the accident a friend recommended Melissa and I am forever grateful to her for the unbelievable service she provides. I had never received acupuncture before so I was cynical at first but the results spoke for themselves. I am doing two treatments a week and Melissa comes to my house which takes the stress out of driving to an office and waiting.
The pain in my front neck and upper spine as well as lower back and sciatica are steadily improving. As far as im concerned Melissa is preforming miracles. After just 3 weeks I feel less pain, tension & stress in the body, more relaxed, and migraines are minimizing. Thank you Melissa! I really appreciate your service. Anyone who uses your services will be pleased.

Knee pain, headaches, stress, and breathing problems. Aculibrium had a treatment that worked great for all of them.
Big thumbs up for the care, knowledge and bedside manner.

After blowing out my lower back and needing to be taken to the ER in excruciating pain at only 28, I realized I needed to make sure I would recover properly AND do whatever was necessary to prevent a back injury like this from ever happening again. I’ve never used or trusted anything but Western medicine before, but I decided this was simply too important so I was determined to leave no stone unturned. So naturally that included investigating TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Enter AcuLibrium. Being a little afraid of needles I wasn’t entirely sure how I’d react, but truth is the needles are not traditional needles like those found on syringes, they’re much lighter and more flexible, and the owner (Melissa Synder) was very adept at inserting them without pain or discomfort. She was very clear and thoughtful about each and every step of the therapy, having been a PT herself. And using that experience she was able to recommend all sorts of remedies that are well known and accepted outside TCM. We worked on my flexibility and particularly my core to strengthen me as much as possible. I found it very relaxing to go there on my lunch breaks because the environment was silent and the (optional) music was soothing.
AcuLibrium is also run very well run too; they use Dr. Chrono for email reminders of appointments and give summaries of your prognosis as well.
Overall, I have vastly improved over the past 6+ weeks since my injury and am finally starting to get back to normal. I can say for certain that acupuncture and everything I learned at AcuLibrium I will integrate into my weekly routine from this point forward. Thank you!

Just had an amazing treatment today. This place is in a very nice building, peaceful place. I have acid reflux and she did a really relaxed my stomach. Melissa is a young sweet half Chiinese woman. If you are new to acupuncture, she is great because she’s so gentle.
