Vahed Behnaz in Encinitas holds California Acupuncture Board licensure and NPI #1679714240, practicing from Suite 112 at 535 Encinitas Boulevard within a multi-provider integrative medical complex. The practice's needle-based protocols address pain conditions and internal imbalances through TCM diagnostic methods including pulse and tongue assessment, an integrative framework shared with the naturopathic and functional-medicine approach at AIM Integrative Medicine. Acupuncture sessions at the Encinitas Boulevard location treat musculoskeletal pain, stress-related disorders, and digestive complaints using meridian-based point selection guided by pattern differentiation. Cardiovascular-support protocols targeting hypertension and circulatory insufficiency complement the diagnostic cardiology services at Coastal Cardiovascular Care. Advanced point combinations for migraine and tension-type headache involve simultaneous GB-20, LI-4, and Taiyang extra-point needling to modulate trigeminovascular pathway activation and reduce vasospasm frequency.
