I have now gone through the third cycle along with my treatments with Valley acupuncture and can report that it was a success this time! A big “Thank you” to Jim! I... Read more »
I can’t say enough good things about Jim and Valley Acupuncture. I suffered from a 6 month headache due to a dental procedure when I first came to see him. This was after seeing many md’s including a neurologist at Rush in Chicago. All they wanted to do was push drugs on me. The last thing I needed or wanted. Jim showed so much care and confidence. Although it took some time, because I waited so long to see him,... Read more »

Acupuncture for Healthy Weight Loss
In the United States, an estimated 300,000 people a year die from obesity.
In several studies over the last five years, researchers have shown patients who receive regular acupuncture treatments see faster weight loss results than those who do not. In each case, the acupuncture treatments were combined with dietary and lifestyle changes also aimed at weight loss, but the patients who got acupuncture saw better results than those who focused on dietary and lifestyle changes alone. continue reading

Regrowth: Spring and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Three thousand years ago, when Chinese medicine was first being practiced, there was no light or electricity. No way to mask the darkness of winter. No way, either, to ignore the longer, warmer days of springtime.

Acupuncture for Diabetes
More than 34 million Americans have diabetes, and approximately 90 percent of them have type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Because of this, treatment often involves taking “insulin sensitizers” or medication that helps the body increase its sensitivity and therefore ability to process insulin, keeping the blood sugar from getting too low. Unfortunately, this medication often causes side effects, including weight gain and anemia. continue reading
