“Came here last Wednesday based on distance and all the positive reviews. I am a 29 helicopter pilot dealing with low back pain and sciatica. I recently injured my piriformis causing intense (8/10) pain down my leg and foot. I have been going to physical therapy, chiropractor, and massage with slow but positive results. After about 2 months and my pain down to about a 5/10, my physical therapist suggested I try acupuncture. I went and saw Sarah on Wednesday and was given a treatment plan of approximately 6 sessions. She explained everything she was doing and the office was impeccably clean and provided a relaxing atmosphere. That night, I slept pain free for 12 hours. The second treatment the following day had me pain free through the weekend (a first in months!) and around a 1/10 today. I am a believer! It is an incredible treatment and no, it isn’t instant, but I have had more progress in the last 5 days seeing Sarah than I have in two months. Make this part of your health and wellness; you will not be disappointed!!!” – JM

“Sarah has magical powers…that’s the best way to explain it!! I consulted her with a couple of issues I wanted to address and she was so helpful and kind. She took over an hour to just talk to me and answered all of my questions. I DON’T like needles and am basically terrified when one comes at me ( even for blood work ) but the needles Sarah use are so tiny and fine you either don’t feel them or barely feel anything. After a few sessions I felt “different” in a good way. It’s amazing. I’m proud to say that I have been able to stop my GERD medicine and also no longer take medication for an auto immune issue and feel fantastic. You have to give Sarah an opportunity to change your life too! Wish I could give more than 5 stars.” – CB, Health Care Industry

“Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable and really focused on each specific need mentally and physically. I went in for neck pain and muscle tightness and other alignments that needed some balancing out. I left feeling very relaxed and centered. One day after, my neck isn’t as tight, I slept better and I feel more energized. Highly recommend her if you suffer from chronic pain, stress and/or neurologic disorders. Sarah is there to assist your entire body and mind in healing and recovering which I find to be more effective than chiropractor acupuncture. Your mind and body are connected… heal the body, heal the mind.” -SJ

“Sarah at Vitality Acupuncture is amazing. I am an avid practitioner of the martial arts, which comes with it’s own set of injuries. I had painful sprains, bruises and joint strains to my knees, elbows and shoulders and was seriously considering seeing an orthopedic surgeon. I decided to try acupuncture first and am so glad I did. After a few weeks of treatment in 2017, pains and soreness no longer hamper my training program and my overall health is better than it has been in years. Sarah is highly skilled and professional and at the same time intuitive and caring. She loves what she does and she does it well. She is incredibly adaptable and will tailor her approach to whatever your needs are. Very quick and painless she moves around your body placing needles in the perfect place resulting in relief and a total feeling of well being. I highly recommend her.” -AM, Retired Police Officer

“I have to say this was one of the BEST health care experiences that I’ve had. When traditional medicine was failing me, Sarah took the time to understand all aspects of my health, not just my immediate pain. I came to her for acute shoulder pain while I was on vacation on the beach and she adjusted her schedule to help relieve my pain. I was a skeptic since this was my first experience with acupuncture, but after the first session I was significantly better and after the second it was almost completely gone. Sarah cared enough to help me find a someone in my home city who practiced traditional Chinese medicine and could continue treatment. Sarah cared enough to follow up with me a few weeks after returning home to see how my treatment was progressing. I wish this was how all health care providers operated, not like the traditional hustle of insurance driven medicine…” – Dentist, NK
