Acupuncture near Solvang

“Kristi has saved me twice now. Every year and a half or so I do something stupid to throw my back out, which brings on debilitating pain. Both times this has happened since my move to the SYV, a single trip to Kristi has immediately solved the problem. I'll acknowledge that some issues might be harder than others to treat, but would HIGHLY recommend getting to Kristi ASAP the next time you're having a back issue. It's good to know she's only a hop skip and a jump away for the next time my back lets me down again. 5/5!“

“Fantastic practitioner, comfortable and clean setting, very knowledgeable very helpful, relaxing, and attentive all around a great experience, as with all acupuncture expect some discomfort but it will be worth it“

“After experiencing excruciating back pain, I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon who ordered an MRI. I was told I had a "massive" herniated disc that was compressing a nerve and that was the source of my pain. I was told the only option I had was surgery. I had to wait 3 weeks for surgery and needed to manage the pain in the interim without meds as I have children and had to work. A friend told me about Cyndi Redfern, and though I was skeptical about acupuncture, I was desperate, so I booked an appointment. She told me she guaranteed she would heal the herniated disc (she knew the disc and nerve without looking at the MRI). I told her I didn't need a guarantee that she could heal it, I was scheduled for surgery and just wanted pain management. Long story short, at my pre-op, my surgeon asked what my pain level was. At my first appointment I told her between a 1-10 it was a 100. At my pre-op I told her it was between a 1-2. She asked me if I was just afraid of surgery and was I lying about the pain level. Nope - I told her we should move forward with the surgery because I had acupuncture and it was probably just masking the pain. She said no - a 1-2 pain level was what we would be shooting for after surgery. Cyndi did, in fact, heal my back and save me from having back surgery. That was 4 years ago and I horseback ride and work out 5 days a week. About once a year I'll feel a little ache and I'll see Cyndi for a maintenance treatment. She has also helped with arthritis in my hand and my asthma. I have referred several of my friends to her and they have the same success stories. She is wonderful and such a blessing to have in our Santa Ynez Valley.“
