Back Pain
I started coming to Jim for Acupuncture this winter when I was having back pain and physical therapy just was not making it better. After having a few acupuncture's the pain was getting less and less. Then one day the pain was completely gone and have not had any pain since doing acupuncture. I was very skeptical at first and not sure how this would help my back pain but it did and overall I feel so much better. It will always be a part of my life!!! Jim is very kind, gentle and caring and has so much information to share. One more thing the acupuncture does not hurt in anyway!!!

Acupuncture has changed my life.
Just a year ago, I was living pretty much every day with back and hip pain, to the point where I could seldom go for walks anymore with my very fit and active husband. Since I had tried many other options, a relative suggested I might find help through acupuncture and recommended I call Jim Pedersen for an appointment. I took his advice, and today I am living a different life. I now walk regularly with my husband and have very little pain. The changes have been dramatic! I also suffer from severe digestive problems and had gotten to the point where I had to avoid many foods. I've now been treated for that too, and as long as I take the recommended supplements, and go in for my maintenance appointments regularly, I have no problems. I would highly recommend Mr. Pedersen.

Insomnia (Read Article) and Acid Reflux (Read Article)
I started seeing Jim several months ago for sleeplessness. I had trouble sleeping (no more than 2 hrs. at a time). Jim had given me a couple herbs to take. After a couple sessions, and the herbs, I started sleeping through the night. I've noticed other things, such as my digestion problems, had gone away. I carried tums in my purse and took several daily. My heartburn would wake me during the night (one of the reasons I couldn't sleep). I still have that same bottle of tums. I don't use them at all any more. And, the arthritis pain in my shoulder has completely subsided. The atmosphere is very calming. And Jim is a very gentle kind person. I've recommended friends to Jim and they've also had great results.

Digestion (Read Article)
I have had a series of sessions with Jim for a variety of issues, mainly digestive. I cannot emphasize enough how much acupuncture has helped. Jim is remarkably gentle and soothed away any trepidation I may have had regardining acupuncture.

The treatment that I have received from Jim has made a great difference in my life. My balance and strength have improved dramatically. He listens carefully and asks the right questions.

Stress (Read Article) and Sciatica (Read Article)
I've sent many people to Jim for acupuncture and all have come back to me with good reviews. Jim cares first and foremost that the patient is comfortable, both physically and mentally, with the process of acupuncture. The treatments are calming and I like that his space is comforting to be in, unlike other acupuncture spaces I've been in that are more clinical. I definitely recommend him for treating anything from stress to sciatica (both of which worked for me).

I used Valley Acupuncture to help me with some severe back pain that left me unable even to go to work. After the first few treatments I was back at work! The pain was entirely gone in a month. In town and convienient, great value and service!

Allergies (Read Article)
I've suffered from allergies for so many years, it just seemed natural to be sneezing and blowing my nose all the time. Since starting treatments about six months ago, my allergy issues have become practically non-existent. I have become a true believer in acupuncture and I highly recommend Jim for his skills, professionalism and truly sweet nature.

Migraines (Read Article)
I have been going to see Jim for about a year to get acupuncture for migraine headaches and teeth grinding. Jim is amazing - gentle, very knowledgeable, and happy to explain what he is doing and why. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to try acupuncture for the first time or looking for a good accupuncturist.
