Dr James Pedersen is by far the best acupuncturist I’ve been to and I’ve been to several in spite of doing my homework. I’m glad I finally found Dr Pedersen. He spends and takes valuable time to gather information to treat you in the best way possible and with results. NT, Geneva
It was recommended by my doctor to see Kara, ‘an expert,’ for a flare up of my trigeminal neuralgia. She amazingly took care of the excruciating nerve pain within a few sessions. I was pain free, and headed to an already scheduled hip replacement. I healed so quickly from that surgery, (that was my sixth surgery ever), that the doctors and physical therapists were amazed. I attribute that to the acupuncture, which not only helped my pain go away, but... Read more »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.
But this review is more about James Pederson. From the moment you walk in the door, it is a comfortable, welcoming... Read more »

How Acupuncture Is Helping Patients Finally Sleep Again
It’s 2:17 a.m., and you’re staring at the ceiling for the fourth night in a row. You’ve already tried melatonin, herbal teas, blackout curtains, white noise machines, and sleep apps reminding you to “relax,” but your mind is still racing through tomorrow’s responsibilities. Your body is exhausted, but your brain refuses to cooperate and by morning, you are irritable, foggy, and disconnected from yourself.
What you are experiencing is increasingly common. Insomnia affects millions of people worldwide, and for many, it becomes more than an inconvenience. Chronic sleep deprivation can impact mood, cognitive performance, immune health, hormone balance, cardiovascular function, pain perception, and overall quality of life. While prescription sleep medications can offer temporary relief, many people are searching for long-term solutions that address the root causes of sleeplessness rather than simply sedating the body. continue reading
Acupuncture for Stroke Recovery: Rebuilding the Brain
When a stroke hits, life can change in an instant. One moment you’re preparing breakfast before work, and the next you’re on the kitchen floor unable to move one side of your body. The weeks that follow are then filled with hospital visits, rehabilitation appointments, and often frustration. Tasks once performed automatically like buttoning a shirt, lifting a coffee cup, or speaking clearly, become daily battles.
Months of physical therapy can then follow, but progress is often slow. Speech can remain slurred and fatigue can be relentless. Many are desperate for additional help and can look to acupuncture to help with recovery. While acupuncture is not a replacement for emergency medicine or rehabilitation therapy, growing clinical research suggests it may offer meaningful benefits for some patients recovering from stroke. continue reading
From Tension to Relief: Rethinking Headaches with Acupuncture
For some, it comes after a long day at work. The symptoms come after a day sitting behind a desk. First, the dull ache creeps up from the base of the skull, wrapping slowly around the temples like a band tightening. By the end of the day, it’s blossomed into a full headache, paired with a stiff neck that makes even turning the head painful. Over-the-counter pain relievers, stretching, ergonomic pillows are all purchased with the hope they will make a difference. Some days are better than others, but the cycle always returns. continue reading
A Quiet Turning Point: Healing the Gut from Within
According to the IFFGD, the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, approximately 5-10% of the world’s population has IBS, with most of those people under the age of 50. And like millions of people with gastrointestinal disorders, most have tried everything from elimination diets, medications, and probiotics, to stress management apps. One treatment many are surprised to discover is acupuncture and just how impactful it can be for gastrointestinal health. continue reading
How Acupuncture Is Helping People Navigate Autoimmune Disease
For those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, mornings can be measured in minutes. How long before the stiffness eases? How long before gripping the coffee cup without pain is a reality? How long before feeling normal kicks in?
Even if you follow your rheumatologist’s treatment plan, take your medications, adjust your diet and pace your lifestyle, there are days when your body feels like it’s fighting a war you don’t fully understand. continue reading
