In one treatment, Faith relieved a lower-back pain that I have had for probably fifteen years. (I was so accustomed to this pain that I hadn't even seen her for that issue -- Faith checked my pulses and asked me if my lower back was hurting.) Over the years I had tried many different types of treatments to no avail, but I can't tell you how amazing it is to be free of this. It's been a few weeks now - still good. She is a healer. Thank you!

Faith's purple cloud ointment is amazing! We use it for everything and it works wonders on my daughter's eczema, so much so that we don't have to use the steroid cream recommended by my pediatrician. My daughter asks for it anytime she is hurt, she says it fixes everything☺️ and now that it comes in a tube like chapstick I can take it anywhere and it makes putting it on super easy!

I've been seeing Faith for a little over two years now. When I first saw her for a chronic shoulder issue, she sensed something was off, prompting me to get a blood panel and other tests. I discovered that I had extremely high blood sugar and cholesterol. I was diagnosed T2 diabetic at the age of 39. I made some sweeping dietary changes, and in conjunction with acupuncture, have been able to get my blood sugar and cholesterol levels to within normal limits. She has counseled and advised me on my diet, and has provided much needed relief for several pain issues related to snowboarding, and most recently, gout. She has a gently touch, and listens well during the course of treatments. I highly recommend Faith at Avalon.

I started acupuncture to help me work on digestive issues. Faith is a wonderful person and a skilled practitioner. She had great advice about dietary changes and set me up with Chinese herbs. All in all, I have definitely experienced improvements in digestive health. I also noticed other subtle changes to my state of mind when I was getting acupuncture on a weekly basis. During a stressful & busy time in my life (my first quarter of grad school during a pandemic), Faith helped me feel more balanced. She is a very grounding presence and her office is lovely. I feel that I am a little more cautious than most about Covid-19, and I felt safe with her protocol. I wholeheartedly recommend Avalon Acupuncture if you are curious about what acupuncture can do for you.

Hi Kristen, great question! You should be sure to have hydrated and also that you have eaten. I check in about these things and keep snacks on hand just in case.
Jessie, acupuncture can be quite helpful in alleviating the pain of all the many types of headaches. Migraines, sinus headaches, tension and stress all can be treated with acupuncture and herbal remedies. The amount of treatment for a healthy life will vary from person to person and the state of their health when they begin treatment. There are three general phases of treatment - relief care for acute symptoms or illness. This can be once or twice a week for as long as it takes to bring someone to the next stage of healing which usually means treatment twice a week until the symptoms are alleviated and constitution is more balanced. After that I recommend treatment once a month. It helps you stay healthy and can prevent re-injury or future illness.
Acupuncture is a great modality of treatment for the injuries sustained in a car accident. Some people have very apparent immediate injuries such as broken bones, bruising,whiplash. Other times it may take a few days for more subtle injuries such as muscle pulls, etc. In addition there can be an emotional component to being in a car accident that can leave you with PTSD and/or anxiety. While I don’t set bones, I can help to speed the healing of those bones and help to alleviate the anxiety, PTSD and the other injuries you may experience. The sooner you start treatment for the non-emergent injuries the quicker your healing can begin. And your Personal Injury Protection portion of your Motor Vehicle insurance will pay for acupuncture.
Yes, acupuncture has been proven to be quite effective in treating and eliminating pain. It can also help you with pain prevention.
