Testimonials

“I sought out acupuncture for my chronic shoulder pain and lack of mobility. After 20 years of trying traditional western medicine options such as Chiropractic, stretching, and anti-inflammatory medicine, my doctor suggested surgery. My shoulder mobility had been reduced to about 30% range of motion and the pain reached debilitating levels regularly. Within 1 hour of my first session of acupuncture and cupping with Hamilton, I had drastically improved shoulder mobility of 80% and my pain was reduced to not even needing over the counter pain meds. After my second session, I was at about 95% mobility and no noticeable pain! Highly recommend.”

“I am so grateful to Hamilton for his care, professionalism, knowledge and kindness. I came to him with a lifetime of tension and pain. I had stored trauma in my body for so long I didn’t even recognize it as pain. I just felt tight all the time. I had heard others healing from trauma talk about acupuncture and cupping as a therapy to release this tension. I remember on my first visit I was full of hope but still a little skeptical. Nothing I’d tried before worked for long. After my first visit I couldn’t believe how much lighter I felt, how my muscles felt so relaxed and movement wasn’t as stiff or painful. Hamilton truly has the gift of healing. I am thankful for all he has done for me.”
