Common Issues from Patients

At Valley Acupuncture, we address the overall functional health and well-being of our patients.
We have found that a patient’s desired effect can be achieved via our more subtle and highly-effective approach to acupuncture.

Our calm and peaceful atmosphere supports healing and encourages relaxation, and we work with patients to promote Health and Vitality at Every Age.

Acupuncture for Women

We specialize in treating a range of women’s health issues including peri-menopause and menopause. The most common complaints from menopausal women include aches and pains never experienced before, and mysterious ailments which doctors have not been able to either diagnose or cure. Very often the first things we address are stress relief, sleep issues, digestion and nutrition.

Pain Management and Injury

While we share a similar physiology, our experience of pain and the way in which our nervous system handles it are very individual. Acupuncture is a wonderful tool for treating pain and managing chronic pain issues.

Depression & Anxiety / Insomnia

Acupuncture is particularly effective in addressing depression and anxiety by calming the mind, alleviating stress, and promoting better sleep—key contributors to overall well-being. Additionally, we use acupuncture to support healthy digestion, which plays a vital role in balancing nutrition.

Acupuncture for Men

“Do you treat men?” The answer is a resounding YES! Many men come to me for issues like tennis/golf elbow—repetitive stress injuries that acupuncture helps heal faster by breaking the injury-inflammation cycle. Acupuncture can also improve libido when no medical condition is involved, addressing factors like stress, lifestyle, medications, sleep, and emotional challenges.

Nancy is an excellent acupuncturist with a magic touch. She has a calming presence, which is really important when you are getting needled! Nancy did a comprehensive intake at the first session and focused my treatment on what was most important for my health. I had great results and would highly recommend Nancy’s sessions. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity.

Consider Acupuncture with Nancy Burns! So I had some extreme joint pain and tiredness and was reminded NOT to use feeling ill as an excuse to NOT see Nancy! I saw her the next day and felt immediate relief after my session. I had more energy and no more joint pain. Nancy Burns has awesome bedside manner and really cares about her clients. She takes the time to get to know you and goes out of her way to find ways to help you, even if it means referring you to other practitioners. I highly recommend Nancy Burns and Valley Acupuncture!

I had the pleasure of having seen Nancy for both facial rejuvenation and primary care acupuncture. I also have mutual patients with her. I can’t wait until my next appointments with her. Her office is like an oasis of calm and balance. She is very caring and communicates this immediately to her patients. My personal success with her has far exceeded what I expected. Many of the fine lines on my face are gone and the deeper lines are much reduced. My skin tone looks fantastic. Whenever my shoulder is sore I know I can get relief from pain when I see Nancy. She is extremely competent in what she does. Her patient care is excellent. I highly recommend her.

Nancy is a talented acupuncturist who takes the time to get to know you and works with you to pinpoint, not just your presenting complaint, but what the root cause may be – and then she treats that. Her office is inviting, her demeanor is warm and friendly with a fabulous sense of humor and her treatments will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. Top qualities: Expert, High Integrity, Creative.

When I was training for climbing Mount Shasta, my knee started to hurt and it was interfering with my training. ONE TREATMENT with Nancy and my pain was completely GONE!!!!! I have had a lot of acupuncture and Nancy’s knowledge of both Women’s health issues and just general pain treatment are outstanding. If it is just for stress relief, pain or general wellness, you could not be in better hands!

– Daya Fisch

I’ve been seeing Nancy for several months now for two reasons: Facial Rejuvenation and Arthritis Pain in my knees. Here’s what I’ve noticed: the deep lines in my face have softened. Wrinkle lines are disappearing. The bags under my eyes have ‘lightened’ up and are less noticeable. The age spot on my face is lightening AND disappearing. My knees feel better and the swelling has decreased significantly. Nancy is knowledgeable and listens to my needs. She seems to have a solution for them all. Overall I am so pleased with my results I am continuing my treatments with her. It’s a gift I give myself and one really good way I take care of myself. Many issues can be handled with acupuncture. I’m just vain enough to not only want the health aspect, but the beauty aspect as well. If you are over 40, do NOT overlook what Facial Rejuvenation can do for your skin and your outlook!

– JoyceAnne Pierce

I have had Nancy treat me for stress, shoulder, knee and sciatica issues. She is very professional, personable and I experienced GREAT results from all the treatments. I HIGHLY recommend her. My husband is a chiropractor and he has referred several patients to Nancy and they also have gotten excellent results. She gets five stars from us! Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert.

– Cindy Dower

After trying for 3 years I’m finally pregnant thanks to Nancy. I was referred to her by my OB/GYN and liked her right away. I had treatments once a week for 12 weeks prior to IVF and 2 the day of the procedure, and we had success the first time! I have continued treatment once a month during my pregnancy and I feel great. I highly recommend Nancy’s services.

Don’t wait to make the shift to a more holistic approach

At Valley Acupuncture we focus on primary care acupuncture. We find a natural fit with women facing challenges with menopause, those with sports-related injuries, and patients dedicated to their own vitality, health and well-being. We work regularly with other health care providers and are very successful in treating acute and chronic conditions like back pain, migraines, sciatica, as well as addressing weight loss issues, artful aging, insomnia and more.

Women’s health issues are at the core of our business. Nancy Burns, L. Ac. is especially skilled at helping female patients navigate the physical changes and challenges associated with life’s transitions. From things like hormonal imbalances, peri-menopause and menopause, to the stress and pain related to injury, illness or divorce, and the general feeling of “not quite right” that comes with living life out of balance, Nancy gets her clients back on the right track.
