Kinetic Inner Qi

Kinetic Inner Qi Acupuncture & Sports Medicine is a Coronado practice where Miriam Gilson treats pain and injury with an orthopedic and sports medicine approach to acupuncture. Miriam looks at how the body moves, finding the muscles and patterns behind a complaint, then combines acupuncture with hands-on manual therapy and targeted exercise to help patients recover and stay active.

How they work

Care centers on the whole body in motion. Miriam uses acupuncture together with motor-point and trigger-point needling, electro-stimulation, myofascial release, cupping and gua sha, and pairs the hands-on work with therapeutic exercise, postural assessment and lifestyle counseling. Treatments are tailored to each patient's goals, whether recovering from an injury, easing a long-standing pain pattern or working to move and perform better. Chinese herbal formulas are available to support treatment, and cosmetic acupuncture and micro-needling are offered for facial rejuvenation.
