After a week, these sessions has helped reduced ankle pain I've had for three years. I've tried many things before like physio, a chiropractor, a podiatrist and others and this is the only treatment that's made any difference

TCM is an ancient healing modality and it’s rare to find people who are deeply rooted in its practices with such depth of experience and understanding as Nate. He is humble, he is dedicated and professional.
He will ask you the important questions that to gain a deeper understanding of what the roots to your ailment or chronic pain will be and treat you accordingly.
This is focused and tailored treatment with support and care.
I came to Nate because I have chronic plain in my neck that I have told myself I will just live with it everyday. How many of us are walking around normalizing crippling pain and thinking that is normal…? It’s not. Trust me. You don’t have to live your life in pain. Reach out and get some support- acupuncture is a perfect place to trust and lean in. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you Acute Acupuncture

Nate takes great care in listening to symptoms to work for a treatment plan that helps achieve your goals. I visited for stress and sleep, and the car has included strategies and advice between treatments to enhance the acupuncture therapy. I leave treatment feeling relaxed, and I am seeing positive shifts in improving my sleep duration and quality, and reduction of stress. The treatment package payment option is very reasonably priced, booking is very easy to do either online or in person, and available times suit my work schedule.
