The office is warm and inviting. They do a thorough exams and use the acuGraph to determine areas of blockage. I found relief from my lower back pain after one treatment. I had been going to PT twice a week for a few months and wasnt making much progress. I thought it couldnt hurt to add something else to my health plan. Kate was great in understanding my need to get back to doing what I love. My quality of life is so much better in just a week.

Jodie has become a really important member of my healthcare team. I started with her just before knee replacement surgery, because I was fearful about pain control. She was warm and welcoming, and explained carefully what acupuncture could offer and how it could help - and help it did, both before surgery, unexpectedly, with back pain that was keeping me awake, and after with the healing process. Synced nicely with my physical therapy, but Jodie was also able to address a flare-up with my TMJ and a couple of other troubles as well. I highly recommend her! And the staff here are so nice, the new

I had always heard good things about acupuncture but was reluctant to try it. After foot surgery, a stress fracture, neuropathy and many costly medical tests which yielded no findings, I decided to try it. I researched many local acupuncturists near my place of work and was really impressed with Diane's education and background. I am extremely pleased with my results. I used to have to ice and soak my feet every night and take Advil all day long. I would say my symptoms are at least 85% improved. Diane is not only extremely talented in her field, but a really kind person who cares about you as

Diane Chase is nothing short of spectacular. She is professional, knowlegeable, honest, helpful and very very enthusiastic for all that she does. No matter what ails you, she can somehow help. In my first visit to Synergy Acupuncture I detailed my situation . . . everything from nagging knee and ankle pain to back and neck issues, depression, diet and eating issues, muscle aches . . . and some things I can't even recall now. She was able to handle each and every one over the next few months. Though I am now 63 I feel more like 49 . . . even younger! Give her a try! You won't be disappointed !

I started going to Diane to help with the pain I was having in my shoulder. After a few sessions, I could feel the difference in my shoulder pain. I have arthritis and bursitis, so I dont expect there to never be days where there is some discomfort, however, the deep pain I was feeling has gone away. Diane also uses the Acugraph system prior to treatment; she explains what each of the graphs can mean and then tailors the treatment to help me. I would highly recommend Diane as she is extremely knowledgeable and caring when it comes to treatments and her patients.

Was new to acupuncture when I first came to Synergy. Diane took me through the steps of what to expect and provides session by session progress graphics using the "Accugraph" system which I find very insightful. Helps one understand the improvements they are receiving from their sessions. Diane is great to work with and provides the additional benefits being well versed in all aspects of Eastern Medicine. Being an RN (western medical) expert first and translating in the Eastern approach makes Diane a unique asset in bringing both the body and mind in balance. Provide the highest recommendation
