The Acupuncture Point (TAP)
Private Acupuncture Studio in South Torrance
Personalized healing in fully private rooms. Led by Dr. Amanda Srisathapat, DACM a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine dedicated to helping you feel like yourself again.
Healing
That Feels
Personal
I started The Acupuncture Point because I believe healing should feel personal. When you walk into my studio in South Torrance, you're not a number on a chart — you're a person with a story, and I want to hear it.
Every treatment I provide happens in a fully private room. It's just you and me, working together to figure out what your body needs. I use acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, and advanced aesthetic treatments to help guide your body back to balance. My patients call their sessions "nap time" — and honestly, that's exactly how it should feel.
I live and practice here in the South Bay because this is my community. Whether you're coming from Torrance, Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Lomita, or San Pedro, I'm right here in the Hillside Village Shopping Center off Hawthorne Blvd, ready to help.

The Science Behind Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient medical practice used for thousands of years across Asia. The practice includes diagnosing the patient and finding individualized treatments for each person. I use very fine needles to promote vital energy called Qi (pronounced "chee") to rebalance and bring the body back to a healthy state.
This vital energy in western medicine is found in fascia — the connective tissue in our bodies that provides support, structure, and protection to nerves, muscles, organs, and other tissues. By placing thin needles into specific areas of fascia, I can stimulate nerves, triggering the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, serotonin, cortisol, oxytocin, melatonin, and dopamine. Acupuncture also causes micro-trauma to the tissue to improve blood circulation and promote healing.
In short, acupuncture is used to guide your body to heal itself.
Acupuncture Services
From your initial consultation through ongoing care, every acupuncture session is tailored to your body's needs. I use Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis including tongue and pulse assessment to create a treatment plan that's truly yours. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, sleep issues, or just want to feel more balanced, this is where we start.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is just one tool in the Traditional Chinese Medicine toolkit. I also prescribe personalized Chinese herbal formulas, integrate doTERRA aromatherapy, and use cupping and gua sha to address what's happening beneath the surface. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I treat the whole person not just the symptom.
Specialized Treatment Programs
Some conditions need a focused approach. I've developed specialized treatment protocols for pain management, stress and anxiety, women's health and fertility, men's health, digestive disorders, oncology support, neurological conditions, and veteran wellness. If you're dealing with something specific, there's a good chance I've treated it before.
Skin Care & Aesthetic Treatments
Beyond facial acupuncture, I offer advanced aesthetic services including microneedling (collagen induction therapy), nanoneedling, and cosmetic acupuncture for body contouring. As an acupuncturist, I bring a unique holistic edge to aesthetics I address the internal imbalances that cause external aging, so you look as good as you feel.
Facial Rejuvenation & Aesthetics
Your skin tells the story of what's happening inside. My facial rejuvenation treatments combine acupuncture, facial cupping, gua sha, and collagen induction therapy (microneedling) to restore radiance from the inside out. This is the natural alternative to Botox and fillers and the results speak for themselves.
Here at The Acupuncture Point in Torrance, all your appointments take place in our soothing office environment with fully private rooms, complimentary beverages, and individualized care. I never rush. I never double-book. Your session is your time.
