Doctor of Oriental Medicine Matthew Roderick runs Roderick Relief Acupuncture in Point Loma's Midway District from a Midway Dr suite, bringing bilateral California and Nevada credentialing to the practice. His UNLV kinesiology degree shapes a sports-injury focus that uses needling and cupping for the same complaints that fill the table at Apex Sports Therapy — plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff impingement, IT band dysfunction, and chronic low-back strain. Treatment targets Midway patient patterns through the diagnostic framework of traditional East Asian medicine rather than symptom-focused intervention. Needling sessions integrate cupping, moxibustion, and manual soft-tissue techniques in a single appointment — the single-visit model compresses what would otherwise split across separate trips between acupuncture and the dedicated sports massage work at Pain Reset Sports Massage Therapy. Complex chronic pain cases draw on the Oriental Medicine framework's ability to address root-level qi and blood stagnation patterns that linear biomedical workups typically do not capture.
