I’m proud to say that we’re finally parents to a little boy. We had been through 3 IUI and 3 rounds of IVF. Kara was our acupuncturist through it all. She reassured me when I worried, answered my late night emails and countless phone calls. She made sure to be available for our pre and post embryo transfer acupuncture for IVF all 3 times. Most importantly, she never doubted that we would become parents, even when we ourselves did. ... Read more »
We tried acupuncture as a last resort when no one could help my daughter with her back pain. She goes to college at ISU, and has limited times during the week when she can be home. Dr. Pedersen rearranged his schedule to fit her in as soon as possible. He listened to her, asked questions, and explained exactly what he was going to do and what she could expect. He was the first person who was able to relive the... Read more »
I love valley acupuncture because every time I walk into the office I feel like I’m in a spa. From the calming music to the refreshing decor, I feel at peace. Jim is wonderful at what he does and is very knowledgable about western medicine. He has a soothing way of speaking to you and makes you feel extremely comfortable. Acupuncture really works and this IS the place to go to have it done!! KP, Hinkley

Acupuncture
Electroacupuncture: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Current
The clinic was quiet except for the soft hum of a small device on the treatment table. A runner lay comfortably, acupuncture needles placed along her calf and lower back to address chronic pain that kept her from her regular running routine.
Because of the chronic and nagging injury, she turned to acupuncture to find healing. But it wasn’t quite what she expected. Rather than simply resting with the needles inserted, the practitioner gently attached thin leads to several of the needles and turned on a device that sent a gentle electrical current through them. A subtle pulsing sensation began, almost like tiny waves moving through her muscles. Within minutes, she felt her body responding, warming, releasing.
This therapy was electroacupuncture, a technique blending the longstanding principles of traditional acupuncture with modern electrical stimulation. continue reading
The Healing Landscape of Scalp Acupuncture
Many healing journeys begin in unexpected places. For some, recovery starts not in the muscles of the back or the ligaments of a knee, but in the quiet landscape of the scalp, an area often overlooked except for styling, washing, and the occasional headache. Yet, for many people seeking relief from neurological, physical, and emotional challenges, scalp acupuncture is becoming a compelling bridge to healing. continue reading
Chinese & Japanese Acupuncture: Two Traditions, One Lineage
Both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture spring from the same classical East Asian medical roots, yet they diverged over centuries into distinct clinical styles. In Japan, techniques evolved toward gentler, highly tactile methods. And in China, the practice of acupuncture tended to emphasize stronger needle sensation and standardized point prescriptions within Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM. While some have their preferences, neither is “better” than the other. The right choice often depends on the patient’s condition, sensitivity, and their goals. continue reading
What is Five Element Acupuncture?
Five Element Acupuncture is a classical style of East Asian medicine that organizes diagnosis and treatment around the dynamic interplay of five phases/elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated (in this framework) with organ networks, emotions, sensory patterns, and seasonal cycles. Treatment aims to restore harmony among these elements when one becomes predominant or deficient. continue reading
The Role of Pediatric Acupuncture in Children’s Health
There are a variety of reasons for parents to seek out a pediatric acupuncturist. It usually isn’t the first resource sought out when a child is suffering from insomnia, infrequent bowel movements, or other digestive issues. However, more and more parents are looking for ways to treat these issues that don’t involve prescription medication that often has side effects worse than what they are trying to treat. As parents increasingly seek holistic and integrative approaches to their children’s well-being, pediatric acupuncture is gaining traction as a safe, effective, and non-pharmaceutical option for a wide range of childhood health concerns. continue reading
