I started seeing Christian a few months ago to address frequent headaches and migraines and have already seen a huge improvement. Not only are they less frequent, but they are also much less intense. The whole experience has been great and Im very pleased with the results.

After several attempts to get them to bill my insurance company with the correct billing codes, charging for "Therapy" I didn't ask for, what "Therapy"?? I came in for a accupunture session!! Also double billed on that day in January. Now threatening to send me to collections for $191! Seriously you guys want to go that route?? I will have my attorney talk to you about fraudulent billing!

Dr, Hillyer is fantastic! I tried all sorts of remedies to help with my shoulder impingement and it wasn't until I saw Dr. Hillyer that I started to see real improvements. My shoulder is 100% now, and when ever I have an issue with any thing else he is my first call. The clinic itself is also super relaxing and comfortable. Definitely 5 stars!!

I came to Adrian with a very troubling and confusing painful vaccine injury in my shoulder. My 1st appointment he was very thorough in giving an ultrasound to the area making sure that he was able to look around and see what might be the problem. After my 1st very thorough examination of my shoulder and surrounding area we got started on dry needling therapy. It has been really helpful and has put me on the road to recovery. He stays in contact with my physical therapist and they make sure that they are on the same page in terms of The best approach for healing my injury. I am very grateful that

At the suggestion of my chiropractor, I made an appointment with Adrian at Pins and Needles. This was my first experience with acupuncture and Adrian not only made sure that it was a comfortable introduction, but provided a detailed explanation of the process and treatment goals during the initial appointment. I was seeking relief from an on-going hamstring and glute injury that had frustrated my endurance training for nearly two years. After the first appointment, I felt relief with steady improvement as treatments progressed. As I increased my mileage and activities, Adrian recognized inhibited

Adrian is amazing with the dry needling technique. I went in on a recommendation from a physical therapist that this process could be helpful for a shoulder injury I had. Indeed it was. It took time, of course, but I've gone from VERY limited strength and mobility to full strength and mobility. I still go in for tune ups (and, let's face it, the heat lamp and Adrian's dry wit) and try to talk everyone I know into going. Across the board, the professionalism and knowledge in this office is stellar. They're trustworthy and take good care of their patients. All the stars. Definitely recommend.
