Valley Passage Acupuncture

"In the fall of 2008 I came to VPA with arthritis pain in the neck.  I have to admit to a certain amount of skepticism but wanted to avoid surgery.  After 7-8 treatments the pain was 90% gone.  The acupuncture with moxabustion worked and the linament was an added bonus.  I would recommend VPA to anyone with persistent pain seeking non-surgical relief in a pleasant, professional environment."

"I went to Valley Passage Acupuncture in hopes of reducing my use of prescription medications and to seek relief from my arthritis pain . . . both have been accomplished in the 15 months I have been seeing Kim.

I have suffered from arthritis for over 15 years and have been taking a prescription medication for the pain, unfortunately  it did not keep me from waking in the middle of the night from pain and waking in the morning stiff.  With my acupuncture treatments, I am sleeping through the night and am able to get out of bed without feeling tired and stiff.  I still take prescription medicine, but along with acupuncture, I finally know what it's like to live relatively pain free!

What I did not expect from VPA has been the overall improvement in physical and mental health.  For years I suffered from chronic sinus infections, I would have one or two infections a year, but since Kim's acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs I have not had one sinus infection in the past 15 months!

Initially I went to Kim for treatment every week, but now I go only once a month or so for a "tune-up" or a specific problem.  My acupuncture treatments always leave me relaxed and rejuvenated.  I can't imagine my life without acupuncture, Chinese herbs or Kim, and count VPA as part of my wellness regimen."
