“This is a long overdue appreciation post for Natasha, who I’ve been seeing for about 6 months. She is an incredible acupuncturist who has helped me with several health issues. I love her presence and always look forward to our appointments. The front desk is also always incredibly friendly and helpful, in person and over the phone!“

“I was driving home from work one night at about midnight in 1990. I worked really close to home and this one time, I thought to myself, I was just too tired to put on my seatbelt. Please be advised, you are never too tired, or too anything to avoid putting on your seatbelt. Do you want to know why? Because that one time that you don't put on your seatbelt is the time that you get hit head-on by a drunk driver and your head will almost go through your windshield.That's what happened to me.That unfortunate encounter with that drunk driver and my decision not to wear a seatbelt back in 1990 has terrible affects on me currently. I can't work my 8 hour shift, sitting at a computer 5 days in a row without excruciating pain in my neck and shoulders.I use a good CBD cream to mitigate the pain but the pain relieving effects don't last that long. I get up periodically and stretch but still, by the end of my tour, all I'm capable of doing is taking my muscle relaxer and pain killer and lay down for a couple hours. I even get Botox injections to keep the migraines at bay. But recently, despite my best efforts and Botox, I had two severe migraines in one week. I tried sleeping but the pain was too acute. I ended up in the emergency department at 3:00 am twice.It had been almost 2 years since I'd seen Dr. Bender and had a therapeutic massage. Clearly going to the emergency room wasn't working for me. Even after they treated my migraine I could still feel it's presence. I needed a chiropractic treatment.I am so lucky that my insurance is good at Avista Chiropractic and luckier still that they could fit me in last Friday. I got an hour long massage. Sally really worked out all the knots, tight spots and just plain really fucked up muscles in my neck, shoulders and face. She did an awesome job.After my massage I saw Dr. Bender. I just love her. She finds everything that is out of balance and recalibrates it. She also does at treatment that I've never had any other Dr. do; headache protocol she calls it. She puts on surgical gloves and manipulates the roof of your mouth with her finger. It totally works.When I walked into Avista Chiropractic last Friday I was broken and in pain, I walked like an old lady. When I walked out of Avista Chiropractic last Friday, I felt whole, pain-free, and I felt a spring in my step.Thank you Sally and Dr. Bender.2023 Review #1“

“I was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome and thought I was headed for surgery by my fortieth birthday. Dr. Brett worked with me, I did my homework, and now almost a year later I feel practically cured. I won't be needing any surgery on my hands for wrists anytime in the near future. I can't recommend this practice and approach to healing enough! Go! Get your body feeling good!“

“UPDATE: Dr. Jeanne saved the day again. I was unloading my car after a camping trip and tweaked something in my back. I couldn't turn my neck for days. I scheduled with Dr. Jeanne and within one treatment got me to 85% and after the second treatment I was back at 100% function. Thank you Dr. Jeanne! :)Dr. Jeanne is an amazing chiropractor. I grew up going to chiropractors and she is the excellent. My whole family sees Dr. Jeanne.“

“I give it 5 stars? I liked the manner of the doctor, very friendly and above all, very Professional. His very friendly receptionist also helped me a lot to be able to explain my situation to the doctor. I really recommend Beebe chiropractic, excellent service.“

“I started my weight loss journey about 6 months ago. I had a baby two years ago and it was really hard for me to lose the weight after. I tried a lot of different things even with exercise I still needed the extra help. David at health plus has been an absolute godsend. He’s helped me get on a great diet and encouraged pairing it with exercise that has proven to be successful. I have a lot of work to continue doing but I am so excited with the results that the team has helped me achieve. I can’t wait to continue on this journey with them. David also does a lot of non profit work with the country Tanzania and I am so excited for what he has done with our community and theirs. If you need to lose weight or just get healthy in general David is your guy.“

“Dr. Wilber is amazing. I have gone to her twice now with a terribly stiff hip and lower back i have been fighting for a few years and she is bringing a holistic and deeply informed knowledge of human anatomy to bear on my chronic pain issues. She explains everything really clearly and listens...i feel so much better and am committed to following her prescriptive outlines for my recovery. I would highly recommend her to anyone and am looking forward to my next visit. What a treasure for Raleigh Hills!“

“Good people. helpful and very comfortable environment. Can be awkward for people who have never had to have other people get handsy with them. They made the experience comfortable and welcoming.“

“Dr. Josh is knowledgeable, caring and the team is so friendly and really accommodating. I love the individualized care plans they put out and overall just an amazing team and experience! Highly recommend Raleigh Hills Chiro One Wellness! Real people making an amazing difference!“

“This was my first time with acupunture, trying fire cupping or really learning about Chinese Medicine. Lara is SO kind, so real and listens, while also teaches you about every part of the process within your appointment. Tara gave me an amazing massage and supported me while I took in the feeling of the cups on my back, too. I am so grateful to have found Aculand, and already made my next appointment. These women and company are true healers and sincerely so kind from the moment you walk in. I feel truly cared for, spiritually and physically.“

“Elaine is a super star of support and knowledge. She has been in my corner of my weight loss journey from day 1! Her experience and steady hand with encouragement during this process is unmatched in any diet program I have been on. And that's a LOT! I've lost 40lbs and feel amazing! I look darn good too! If you are tired of the roller coaster diets, then call Elain to help with a permanent fix. I'm a grateful for this program, but also Elaine's guidance.“

“My decision to start the new year off with acupuncture with Kristen is shaping up to be the best I've made so far. I loved every single moment of my session -- from the moment I walked in and felt instantly welcomed and cared for, to the actual needling session where she played Brian Eno and had a heating lamp warming my feet (it's the little things!). I really appreciated Kristen's warmth and attentiveness. She has a nurturing spirit that you can feel as soon as you meet her and really takes the time to hear and witness you. We had a lovely, easy conversation throughout our session and when it came time for the needling, I was really pleased with her gentle touch. I've been needled by other practitioners before who were aggressive and intense, so I really appreciated how smooth her technique was. The biggest thing for me, though, was after she stuck the needles in me and left me alone so that they could do their magic -- I felt so comfortable in the space and with how much intention she put into making me feel safe there that I was actually able to relax and enjoy those 30 minutes of rest, which made the session even more affective. Almost immediately my symptoms began to melt away and I started to feel that delicious acupuncture high that you get sometimes when you've hit the right meridians. (I woke up this morning still feeling the affects.) After my session was over, she gave me big hug and asked me how I was getting home (it was dark and gloomy out) which, again -- it's little gestures like that that make me feel valued and cared for as a patient enough to come back. And I will, no doubt. The last thing I'll add: As a black queer woman who has struggled to find healers and practitioners in this city who really make me feel seen as a whole person and like I won't be microaggressed, I was really happy with my experience with Kristen and Nightingale. Based on how I was treated and the energy of the space, I feel they really foster community and advocate for a safe space for their marginalized patients. I'm really really glad I decided to take a chance and go here. My body is thanking me today.“
