Best Chinese Medicine Store Elk Grove Near Me

4worldlovers:
Vivian is amazing! Best acupuncturist I ve ever been to. She takes her time to explain what’s going on with your body and treats the root cause of the problem not just the symptoms. The treatments have helped tremendously and I can finally have a normal life again without the constant pain from the nerves.

I started seeing Elk Grove Acupuncture recently due to a condition that many Dr’s have not yet been able to diagnose. My Dr’s have thrown out words like Chrone’s Disease, Familial Mediterranean Fever and auto immune. After 32 days in the hospital pumped full of very strong pain medication with no cure or relief I decided to try ANYTHING! My Dr said to try acupuncture and so I did. With a not so gentle nudge from my wife to go. I have finally found relief. Have to admit I was a complete skeptic but after two sessions with herbal medication prescribed by her I am feeling better. 3 months of suffering and 32 days in the hospital over the holidays and we have found an answer. Thank you so much Elk Grove Acupuncture! I can’t thank you enough. I am now a firm believer and advocate.
