The New Medicine
Lately Oriental Medicine (OM) and Acupuncture have gained quite a bit of attention as very effective and safe modalities to successfully treat many conditions that confound Western Medicine.
What many people don’t know is that, while it is one the fastest growing modalities of holistic medicine in the US, it is actually a complex and complete medical system with over 3,000 years of recorded history.
While in the minds of many OM is associated with magical qualities, thousands of modern research studies have revealed that the mechanisms at work do not involve mysterious energy circulation.
Instead, the success of OM is based on an awareness of complex physiological mechanisms that can be described in Western terms. Our goal is to identify the root causes of any imbalance and to restore the balance that will allow the body to repair itself. The true magic really lies in the amazing healing ability of the human body when it is provided with the proper support. Rather than just providing symptom relief this will lead to true and profound healing.
The diagnosis leading to the proper treatment plan is one of the key elements of the success of our treatments. During the important first visit you will be asked many questions that go beyond the typical patient history including inquiries about such particulars as diet, bowel habits, or sleep patterns.
Based on your diagnosis a custom treatment plan will be designed to fit your condition. At Advanced Acupuncture Centre (AAC) this can include several of the standard modalities of OM, but could also incorporate techniques or technologies of a more recent vintage, such as Muscle Channel Technique, Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), or others.
Our main goal is always to address your individual condition and needs, to bring about a state of balance and health as quickly as possible.

What Clients Say
My daughter and I have both been treated by Dr. Jens, and it would not be hyperbole to say that he has changed our lives. My daughter had a sugar sensitivity that caused a narcotic level response in her (personality change, etc.). One visit to Dr. Jens and she is able to enjoy treats with her friends again.

On my first visit, Dr. Maassen spent over an hour with me gathering medical history and answering my questions. I've never had a care provider give me that much 1 on 1 attention. I've now been a patient for 8 months and always have a relaxing and therapeutic experience when I visit AAC. For those who are wondering, the needles are not painful at all. Give it a try!

Dr Jens is talented and he's helped every family member of ours. The amazing Jens Maassen is helping my 9 month old through a variety of food intolerances. Hunter & I will continue NAET treatments for his intolerances until his tiny body is cleared of all things that make him restless. As a breastfeeding mama I sure do miss being able to eat out, and as a 9mo baby boy my son is finally finding a sleep pattern without being restless.
Jenifer P.Livermore, CA
Jens' work is amazing. After that session my shoulders and arms felt great. I was relaxed and felt strong at the same time. I felt good energetically. It's amazing to have energy flowing through the body because usually I don't have a sense of that. Thanks Jens. He's the guy to go to in the Tri-Valley for acupuncture, and not only for his work but he's also a great guy!

Great acupuncturist and diagnostician who cares about my aches and pains. I have digestive problems and allergies. I have found that his treatments are customized for my needs. I have been to acupuncturists before seeing Dr. Jens Maassen, he is the most gentle. I appreciate that he has two locations

Health is much than just the absence of disease. It is a vibrant state of balance between body, mind and spirit that defines the true sense of “being alive.” In this state it is easy to rebound from trauma, physical or emotional, and disease does not find a fertile soil.
