  • Both my husband and I have received acupuncture treatment from Cara over the last few years. She is a comprehensively trained practitioner, not a weekend workshop specialist. Her highly effective use of this traditional Chinese medicine is a product of her complete understanding that wellness goes beyond just symptom relief. She is an intelligent listener with an authentic warmth. Cara shows respect to her clients in small, but important ways, like always knocking lightly before entering the room, regulating the room temperature, and asking if you are ready for the lights to be turned on. This professionalism means a lot when you are in the calm state at the end of a session. Even the building is sensibly designed for health care. A small glass foyer transitions you to the interior where the elevator is positioned directly in front of you. If you have mobility issues or are just not feeling well, that kind of immediate access is a welcome sight. We enthusiastically recommend the Valley Acupuncture and Wellness Center to all, but particularly to those who are fearful of the process. Your experience here, with competent and compassionate people, will change your mind.

  • Recently I decided to try the DermaPen micro-needling facial treatment that is offered. I did this for a combination of both physical and aesthetic/facial reasons, and I already have booked a second appointment. My skin is glowing and it also helped with the sinus headache pain that I get in my one eyebrow.

  • Cara, the acupuncturist, is an absolute gift of a human being. Her presence is warm and grounded. She is clear and communicative and genuinely, I cannot stress this enough, GENUINEY cares about you and your pain and will construct a care plan to specifically address your needs. It is one of those great, and frankly far too rare, examples of the right person in the right job. My specific care plan needs include both acupuncture and cupping. The cupping was not something I had been looking for, but boy am I glad I tried it! It helps relieve muscle tension and boost circulation like nothing else. The combination of the two, acupuncture and cupping, keep my various muscle tension issues (neck, shoulders and back) and my migraines at a level that I can easily manage and many days are completely pain free. I go once a week. I look forward to my sessions. There is relaxing music, a heat lamp for muscle relaxation and just some private quiet time to zone out. The days I that I get acupuncture I sleep better as well.

Treatments

Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to promote the flow of energy, or Qi, and restore balance. This ancient practice can help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and support overall wellness.

Cupping

Cupping is a traditional healing practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood flow and relieving muscle tension. This therapy can enhance relaxation, reduce pain, and support overall well-being, making it a valuable complement to acupuncture treatments.

Gua Sha

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to promote circulation, relieve tension, and enhance overall wellness. This practice can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve the appearance of the skin by encouraging lymphatic drainage and stimulating collagen production.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is a time-tested approach rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, utilizing natural plant-based remedies to support health and well-being. By harmonizing the body’s internal systems, herbal treatments can effectively address various ailments and enhance overall vitality.
