Dr. Noriko Ueda-Lang’s journey into healing began with her own story of transformation. Originally from Japan, she came to the United States at 18 to study English, later graduating from the University of Nevada, Reno. She began her career as a researcher, driven, analytical, and curious about how things worked. But life took a turn after the birth of her first child, when chronic back pain made even simple daily tasks a struggle. Searching for relief, she discovered acupuncture, which was an experience so profound that it changed the direction of her life. Inspired by the body’s innate ability to heal, she decided to dedicate herself to helping others experience that same transformation. Returning to school, she earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and completed clinical internships at Rady Children’s Hospital, where she witnessed firsthand the gentle yet powerful effects of acupuncture on young patients. Later, at UC San Diego’s Integrative Medicine program, she treated individuals in pain management and dialysis care, and was invited to lecture medical students about the bridge between Eastern and Western medicine. Today, Dr. Ueda-Lang is the founder of Ueda Lang Acupuncture in San Diego, where she blends acupuncture, functional medicine, and brain coaching to treat the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms. She is also part of the wellness team for the U.S. Open Golf Championships and a certified instructor for Kinesio Taping University, teaching advanced techniques to healthcare professionals. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help people heal deeply, think clearly, and live with energy and purpose because true wellness begins when the mind and body work in harmony.

But life took a turn after the birth of her first child, when chronic back pain made even simple daily tasks a struggle. Searching for relief, she discovered acupuncture, which was an experience so profound that it changed the direction of her life. Inspired by the body’s innate ability to heal, she decided to dedicate herself to helping others experience that same transformation. Returning to school, she earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and completed clinical internships at Rady Children’s Hospital, where she witnessed firsthand the gentle yet powerful effects of acupuncture on young patients. Later, at UC San Diego’s Integrative Medicine program, she treated individuals in pain management and dialysis care, and was invited to lecture medical students about the bridge between Eastern and Western medicine. Today, Dr. Ueda-Lang is the founder of Ueda Lang Acupuncture in San Diego, where she blends acupuncture, functional medicine, and brain coaching to treat the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms. She is also part of the wellness team for the U.S. Open Golf Championships and a certified instructor for Kinesio Taping University, teaching advanced techniques to healthcare professionals. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help people heal deeply, think clearly, and live with energy and purpose because true wellness begins when the mind and body work in harmony.
