I have been treated by Juliana for the past few months for neck, shoulder, and back pain. I'm so glad I went there, I always looked forward to each session because I knew I would be treating myself to the best pain relief and a really good session. I would give her a million stars if I could!!! She has been attentive to my needs for each session and afterwards I leave her office feeling pain free and really mellow, like I could take a nap for days. She is truly gifted and much appreciated. She is very kind and really made me feel comfortable in her office and on her table. I don't hope

Dr. Englund has been helping me with my rotator cuff and subsequent frozen shoulder pain for about 7-8 months now. She is very knowledgeable in her practice and really listens to her patients. She tailors each session to any changes or progress you've made and I feel like she really cares about getting you to a better place. She has been there for me in some really difficult painful times and each month I'm experience more pain free days!! It's been a long road of recovery and these sessions have given me hope of returning to normalcy some day.

This is a welcoming and soothing facility, with true professionals who are kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Rarig has helped me heal my fractured ankle and is now helping my husband with his lingering pain after back surgery. Dr. Rarig used tens acupuncture as well as cups. After the very first session, my husband was without any pain for the rest of the day--first time in a month! The pain came back the next day, but milder, so we hope it will keep getting milder with each treatment.
Earlier, we had tried a different acupuncture facility that claimed to be specialized in injury pain, but it did

I've seen Dr. Rarig a few times now for acupuncture on a shoulder I keep re-injuring. In short, she's amazing. She has this innate sense for finding the root causes of my pain and the best treatment to address it. I was a little skeptical of acupuncture at first, but after about three treatments I've had substantial improvement, not just with respect to pain, but also general mobility. The setting is relaxing and the staff is so friendly and helpful. If you're considering alternative medicine, definitely give this place a try.

Scared of acupuncture? Fear no more as Dr Englund is the consummate professional. I was referred to acupuncture by a world class back surgeon in Los Angeles. Living in SLO I decided to give it a try locally. The treatment solved my foot numbness and greatly improved the numbness in my leg. This is not a cure all, but with PT, exercise and acupuncture, you are on the right path especially with Dr Englund.

Dr. Julianna Englund is amazing! She is very kind, knowledgeable and intuitive. I visit the office for tight muscles and stress relief. I leave the office floating on air. I feel more relaxed after my acupuncture session than after a massage. You feel relaxed walking into the office and the treatment rooms are peaceful and pleasant. Dr. Julianna Englund is GREAT!!
