I found Mr. Pedersen on the internet and after reading his reviews and learning that he had worked with infertility patients before I decided to give it a go. 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 praise about this man and his practice. He has helped me so much, and continues to do so as I visit his practice at least once a month. Jim provides a safe and warm environment, that is relaxing and healing. I am no longer taking any medications for blood pressure or cholesterol, or for sleep. Jim is very skilled in his work, and I would recommend that everyone try acupuncture and stick with it, as a... Read more »
I was extremely pleased with Jim’s diagnosis and treatment. He was very professional and upfront with me on what he was able to do to help resolve my shoulder pain. I was suffering from shoulder pain as a result of weightlifting. I was very hesitant on going at first as I did not believe it would work. After three treatments and listening to my wife, I was approximately 90% pain free. I am pleased to say that the pain was... Read more »

How Acupuncture Combines with Adjunctive Therapies for Holistic Wellness
You might not think of combining acupuncture with other holistic wellness practices, but it is a great option to pair with a variety of adjunctive therapies. Let’s look at three different options to see how they might compliment each other and benefit a patient’s overall health and wellness journey.
Perhaps the easiest way to express this concept is through the story of a fictional patient. Let’s look at the life of “Emma” and use her to illustrate just what such a wellness journey might look like. When Emma first walked into her acupuncturist’s office, she carried more than just physical pain. Years of chronic stress had manifested as migraines, insomnia, and a persistent feeling of being unmoored. Traditional medicine offered her temporary relief, but she longed for something deeper — a way to reconnect with herself and cultivate lasting well-being. That’s when her practitioner introduced her to a holistic approach, weaving together acupuncture with complementary therapies like sound bathing, essential oils, and herbal medicine.
Finding Balance: How Acupuncture Eases the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment
When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, it can feel like the world has tilted on its axis. The whirlwind of medical appointments, chemotherapy sessions, and the relentless tide of side effects can leave patients drained. Nausea, fatigue, and neuropathy can cloud the difficult days of treatment, making each step forward feel heavier than the last. Many oncologists are becoming wise to how acupuncture can offer patients a glimmer of relief to the side effects of cancer treatments.
Acupuncture, an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote healing. For cancer patients, this practice has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering relief from the taxing side effects of rigorous treatments. continue reading
