I cannot recommend this place enough!!! I always let my family and friends know about this gem in town. I started coming for regular acupuncture treatments when I read that acupuncture could help with infertility issues. Prior to beginning acupuncture, I had been trying to conceive my first child unsuccessfully for 3 years which had already included costly exams, a surgery, and subsequent interventions like multiple IUIs. I had reached a point where my husband and I were taking a break from treatments because we were considering saving up for IVF treatments. At this point, I was exhausted from

Ive been to SMCA for all kinds of things, from migraines to knee pain. I love everything about this approach to medical care, treating the WHOLE PERSON as a complex, interconnected system instead of throwing guesses and pills at a discreet symptom. Haicam is extremely knowledgeable, a gentle and caring healer. Im grateful that our little town has this place.

I use this place and found it to be very therapeutic. They were a part of my healing process during injury. I am a local LMT and I always recommend! Very kind and honest professionals!

After a series of treatments and Chinese herbs I finally broke my smoking habit. I've been smoke-free for 9 years thanks to Hicam and Danielle's skill and care. Definitely worth it if you really are ready to quit cigarettes for good.

Knowledgable staff. Comfortable space. Great results. I've been going to see these wonderful ladies for some time now. They have helped with pain I deal with from many injuries and because I am a massage therapist and all the wear and tear it takes on me. Absolutely will continue to recommend this place to all who may benefit!!

Confusing that they didnt utilize all the points of the body, just arms and legs. I requested treatment for my lower back and did not feel any relief for it, but my arms and legs felt better...even though they werent the problem. Im not an expert on acupuncture, but Im fairly sure directly targeting the painful area is the most widely used and successful method. If you have pain in arms and legs, then Id recommend, otherwise go somewhere else.
