Ive had 3 sessions here so far with Chad to work on a pinched nerve causing problems in my shoulder and arm. The electric stimulation acupuncture has changed my life and provided me pain relief for the first time in 10 months. My trap muscle feels soft and normal again. Highly recommend

I found Chad and Nilsa 4 weeks ago. I had been in significant pain with lumbar scoliosis and issues above and below my L3 for 14 months when I connected with CCA. For the first time in 14 months I am seeing reduced pain and well-being. I am truly thankful for what they have done for me to this point and look forward to continued treatment. I cannot thank them enough for the progress I have seen to this point!

Hi Chad,
I am so grateful for your help. You got me from barely able to walk into an upright human person again and started me on my path to healing. You are my HERO. Those of you reading this, I mean that! I was 99% bedridden and felt I was at deaths door at 75 lbs. Because of Chad I am now walking 1 - 2 hours a day with my dogs and 107 lbs as of today. I am thinking about a future again. At 55 I should see one and Chad made it so. Thanks for saving my life and caring!
Thanks,
Conny
