California AC12970-licensed and NPI 1649585902-registered since 2010, Pavleta Stankoulova, LAC operates in Point Loma near Pechanga Arena at 3156 Sports Arena Boulevard. The practice emphasizes acupuncture needling for chronic pain, emotional imbalance, and orthopedic conditions through Traditional Oriental Medicine diagnostic frameworks — musculoskeletal work that benefits from parallel chiropractic adjustment routes to Brian P. White, DC on the peninsula. The Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) credential and California Acupuncture Board license AC12970 both date to 2010, putting over a decade of accumulated clinical experience on the Sports Arena corridor. Treatments run through fine needle insertion at key neurological and meridian points for back pain, joint pain, knee and shoulder pain, and osteoarthritis — soft-tissue bodywork between sessions falls to massage partners including Happy Head Foot Reflexology and Massage Spa - Sports Arena in the same Pechanga Arena corridor. A secondary practice location at Compass Point Drive serves Mira Mesa patients while the 3156 Sports Arena Boulevard Point Loma location handles the peninsula caseload — both run by appointment only through the single L.Ac. provider. The most complex treatment category is multi-session pain management for chronic musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions — a coordinated protocol combining weekly needling, electrical stimulation via acupoint, moxibustion where indicated, and orthopedic-focused point selection across sustained treatment arcs.
