I have been using acupuncture for 7 years as a less invasive approach to treating spinal stenosis and arthritis. Along with physical therapy, acupuncture has kept surgery at bey. Chris Bickford has been the best acupuncturist that I have met. His holistic approach of mind, body and spirit and hands on therapy has been highly effective in keeping me mobile and off opioids. Highly recommend Chris.

I can walk, sit, drive around, work, play, think and actually live again thanks to acupuncture treatments with Dr. Chris. Having experienced a great reduction of pain in my back, I am beginning to believe that I will have a full recovery and be able to avoid a second surgery. THANK YOU!!!
