Acupuncture is the only answer for my anxiety/stress issues. Mr. Pedersen does an excellent job. He really studies what is going on with your body to find the best treatment. I have had great success. I highly recommend Jim Pedersen. He is very professional and will put you at ease the moment you walk into his office.

Dr. Pedersen is caring and definitely wants to treat a patient holistically. He has never pressured me to make appointments that I didn’t think were necessary, and has always gone above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. He makes an extra effort to get to know patients and find out what they need. He has definitely helped my pains.MEB, North Aurora
After suffering from migraines for over 15years, a friend suggested I try acupuncture for some relief. After an extensive search online for an acupuncturist, I chose James Pedersen, Valley Acupuncture. After just a few visits with Jim, my migraines were reduced to less than once a month so I can say emphatically, acupuncture worked as a migraine treatment.

The Best (and Worst) Thanksgiving Foods
Thanksgiving is a great meal. Friends and family come together to give thanks and celebrate the harvest season–
…and to overeat.
All of us know the feeling of eating too much, too heavy, too rich. When we should be enjoying our time with loved ones, we are uncomfortable. We exasperate our health conditions and catch a cold. We put on weight and feel lethargic.
I’m not going to tell you to make dramatic changes to your Thanksgiving meal. Usually that doesn’t work—and besides, it’s no fun.
Instead I suggest you just make small choices. Pick one food instead of the other. Make little positive choices and they’ll add up to a healthier, more enjoyable meal. continue reading
The Pessimist’s Guide to Gratitude
Your mother was right–say thank you.
Scientists have now proven what your mother always knew–it’s good to be grateful. Being grateful is more than just politeness; it’s actually good for your health and well-being.
In a study by Robert A. Emmons, of the University of California, and Davis and Michael E. McCullough, of the University of Miami, people who kept gratitude journals showed higher levels of health and well-being than people who journaled neutral events or counted hardships. After 2 months, the people who journaled their gratitude felt more optimistic and happier than their control counterparts. They reported fewer physical problems and spent more time working out. People with neuromuscular problems who did the same thing fell asleep more quickly, slept longer and woke up feeling more refreshed. Even their spouses noticed the difference!
How can you cultivate gratefulness even if you’re a glass-half-empty person?
