What people have said about us
Wonderful experience!!!! I received much more than I expected; I didn’t understand before why I was having an intense pain on my back; Christian explained to me everything so clear that I felt I was in the right place for the first time. I feel very confident that he is going to help me ease my pain and I am very grateful for this. The attention and time they dedicated to me is very rare nowadays. Thank you Christian for your dedication and integrity.
Not your average Acupuncturist. I have been seeing Chris Jacobs at ACA. I continued to be amazed with his skills, knowledge and insight. He has remedied issues that no other health practitioner was able to do. He asks the right questions, and proposes the right answers. I wouldn’t have thought such a young man could be so wise, but OMG, he is truly a healer! I am beyond impressed…and so grateful that I found him.
Even Better than Imagined. This was my first acupuncture experience. I sat down with Chris and expressed my concerns. He explained everything and made it simple to understand and had a great disposition and eased my anxiety. I have not relaxed that much in a long time and I will definitely continue treatment here for obvious reasons. Thank you so much for plugging me back into life!
Sarah Fields is a true healer. I feel grateful to have crossed paths with her, and receive the care and medicine her practice provides. She is an asset to our community and has been a source of healing for myself, family, and friends.
Great treatment! I started acupuncture because of lower back pain. In my first visit, the acupuncturist Chris Jacobs identified a connection between my back pain and an old injury from 20 years ago. I noticed results after my first treatment.
Excellent! Chris treated me for a severe rash / allergic reaction spreading on my feet and gave me insight to potential reasons why this is reoccurring for me. Hours later the reaction had subsided and the day later almost gone. Thank you so much Chris.
When my clients tell me that they have tried EVERYTHING, I refer them to Dr Sarah. Her unique approach and all of the areas of study she can draw from makes her work outside of the box and fresh. I have personally loved her approach to my chronic issues and always walk out feeling completely heard and attended to.
Chris spent quite a bit of the visit re-examining my back while treating me. He was very thorough, but it’s the results that count. I went in very uncomfortable, came out after one visit MUCH more comfortable. Big help, though I suspect I’ll need more before I transition to maintenance like my previous 2 decades of life in and out with acupuncture.
My three year old actually left smiling! What an amazing interaction! My three year old daughter came in very clingy and unsure. Chris used such gentleness and also drew from his creative side. He brought in a sick Teddy and asked her to help him with the”magic” letting her insert needles into Teddy and making him feel better! This opened her up to receiving the magic herself. Highly recommended!! P.S. he’s great with adults too.
Intuitive. Intelligent. Impactful. The state of my being was acknowledge and altered. This isn’t a practice of guess work. This is alternative medicine at work. And it does… it works! Sarah is first class. Competent and compassionate. Delaney is welcoming and kind. From the first step into Flowering Acupuncture to the last step out the door, the client is well cared for.
About Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the medical practice of using small needles to stimulate the movement of energy (qi) in the body. An acupuncturist might also incorporate other techniques to build or disperse energy like: Cupping, Massage, Gua Sha (Scraping), Moxabustion (the burning of mugwort to warm up the body), etc.
What is qi?
Qi is simply energy. The meaning of the Chinese character for qi 氣 simply translates to: the energy that is contained with in a single grain of rice. Carbohydrates which are found in rice are chains of carbon atoms that are glued together by energy that the rice plant gathers from the sun. When we eat rice we break down the carbon chains and free the energy to power our body. The whole world around us is powered by qi. Our sun rains qi down on us everyday in the form of heat and light. It is both mundane and mysterious,
Does Acupuncture hurt?
Pain is an incredibly relative experience. Each of us react to positive and negative stimulation differently. For the most part acupuncture is relatively painless. Most peoples experience of needles are shots at the doctor. Acupuncture needles are far smaller than syringes that doctors use. Most people may feel a slight prick sensation at the surface of the skin. Usually any discomfort if there is any fades quickly. The true sensations that are felt during acupuncture are a bit more difficult to describe. Many people feel sensations like tingling, electrical sensations, pressure, temperature changes, warm fuzzy feelings, etc. Most of these sensations dissipate quickly. Once the needles are in most people feel a strong sense of relaxation and many people even fall asleep during treatment.
Do you guarantee results?
No medical modality can guarantee results. Many of our patients have seen a change in their health by receiving regular acupuncture. Results may vary. People who receive the best results also do their homework. Change often requires a change of lifestyle to meet your imbalances at the source.
