I cannot recommend Dr. Jared Andersen enough. Jared has a background in both acupuncture and sports…read moremedicine. I didn't even know that combination existed. I live in San Francisco, but spent the summer in Truckee and I had been experiencing a severe amount of pain in my neck and shoulder. I had had a trip to urgent care and was prescribed some prednisone which one it wore off the pain came back. The amount of pain that I was in was worse than anything that I had experienced in my life and the only way to manage it was heavy pain medication. I had a pinched nerve and a bulging disc at C5 and C4. Also I became unable to lift my shoulder more than 90°. My first visit Jared did a very thorough evaluation with different kinds of muscle testing and recommended some traction exercises to help me create some space in my vertebrae. These exercises only take me three minutes a day and I do believe are helping create more space between my vertebrae and free up the pressure on my nerves. We got the pain under control pretty much immediately through the acupuncture. Today I've been pain free for about 3.5 weeks. Can't tell you how amazing it is to be out of pain after being in so much pain for nearly 6 months. My life had become seriously altered due to chronic pain. I was unable to sleep on my side, my sleep was seriously disturbed and reading books or snuggling with my children became nearly impossible. Even after returning to San Francisco I actually made the 3.5 hour drive (one way) a couple of times to Truckee just to see Jared. I really believed in what he was doing. Every healthcare professional that I have seen, another acupuncturist, physical therapist recommended by my doctor, a chiropractor, and bodyworker told me that it was probably going to take a very, very long time before I would regain movement in my shoulder. On my last visit up to Truckee I saw Jared another two times in a row, this would've been my fourth and fifth visit. The morning after my fifth visit I was able to move my arm all the way up 180°. I was completely and utterly shocked. After various treatments, with multiple healthcare providers, sometimes I would think that I was seeing a degree or two of improvement but I never expected to see something like this. I can tell it's not yet perfect but I'm going to make another day trip, if you can believe it, just to see Jared to see if we can get it there all the way. Thank you Jared from the bottom of my heart. If you're looking for pain relief, look no further than Summit Sports Acupuncture.

Whether you…read morewant to increase your athletic performance or heal from a chronic injury, you'll almost certainly get shockingly good results from Summit Sports Acupuncture. I've worked with Dr. Jared for both a chronic injury that I'd not been able to resolve with several other practitioners (orthopedics, other acupuncturists, PT) as well as for a traumatic sports injury, and the results from a few sessions with Jared for both issues have been exceptional. Can't recommend his clinic enough. You'll both heal and get stronger at this place.

He also made some good suggestions on some stretches I could keep up with. I highly suggest this place for anyone in the area or from out of town looking for care. Would go there again when I am in the area.

Besides that, she has since helped me with other ailments - physical and mental. She's the type of person whose presence inspires you to be a better person, she just has that effect subconsciously. She is the only massage therapist or acupuncturist in the area I would recommend 100%. Make an appointment and be patient if you need to (she books up quickly), it's worth it.

I really like all the teachers that I had, I admit I'm picky because I am one myself. I especially liked Bill's energy and humanity towards his students.

She is truly magic & to receive a session from her is nothing short of life giving and often changing. She's really really good at what she does & I feel so blessed to have found her.

Physical issues always show up with stress. As someone with Lyme disease, I was already familiar with the healing power of accupuncture and thought it would help with my back and glute. Lila blew my previous accupuncture experiences out of the water. She helped heal my body and along the way, she was an incredible guide to navigating the emotional side of loss, grief, and uncertainty. I came to Lila pretty broken in all aspects of life and I now feel amazing in body, mind, and soul. More recently, I tore my meniscus and couldn't weight bear when I saw Lila. The next day, I was walking with a limp but it is progress! She was working with the inflammation but also the muscle memory and fear of a fall that hurt so badly, I was scared to use my knee. I needed to get through that mental block to encourage physical healing as well. Whether it is physical, emotional, or mental, Lila will help! I am so thankful she came into my life at such a critical time. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I can't wait to see how I feel over the next couple days. Her facility is very clean, beautiful and comfortable. Lauren is very professional and seems to have found her calling.

Additionally, the setting was very relaxing, as Lauren often works out of the Yoga Institute in Tahoe City, on Fridays I believe.

I was depressed. I was going to be worthless for my last day in Tahoe with my mom. I had done it to myself, but still - this was not acceptable. My body, my brain and my bones were like sludge. I had overdone it, and needed help. Fortunately, Van Harding was able to see me that afternoon at his clinic. After a brief consult, he went to action using a combination of acupuncture needles, heated table/heat lamp and craniosacral therapy to revive me. I've had acupuncture many times, and he had a nice touch, making sure I was comfortable. Then he put on some soothing music and I was out. I floated to some magical restful place for a while. When he came back, he tweaked the needles and worked on my neck and shoulders, lower back and sacrum. Craniosacral therapy is a different from conventional massage (using a lighter touch) but the effects were immediate. I suddenly had energy again. I popped off the table like I'd been raised from the dead. I was so chatty, my mother was amazed. I was finally awake enough to take in the clinic, which is a lovely, zen space. Once alert, I finally noticed the books on the console. "The Brain That Changes Itself." Love that book! It is a relatively obscure favorite of mine, but there it was. We got to chatting and...holy cow. As a health and wellness wonk ( listener of Tim Feriss podcast, Bulletproof Radio and neuroscience nerd), I noticed the unusual equipment in the treatment area. Van mentioned the 'Interactive Metronome' - a piece of brain tech I'd heard about and always wanted to try. My wish was his command, and Van gave me an appointment for the next day. But first? I had an amazing night of sleep. I slept from 9pm-6am straight. As a chronic restless sleeper, it was the best night's sleep I'd had in months. I was in heaven. Those of you who struggle with sleep will understand this rave. I came back the next day, and went through one of the Interactive Metronome exercises. It was fascinating to learn this perspective on neurology and brain timing, and my mother - a Lumosity addict - tried it as well. The process was painless and the effect was fast. My mom and I were both more alert. and had increased bandwidth for engagement after the mini-session. I was definitely impressed, and am eager to come back and try more of Tahoe Neuro Healing toys. Having helped heal himself after a stroke, Van Harding's knowledge of the brain/body connection is impressive. In two visits, I only scratched the surface. Although he works with clients who have more intense neurological issues - stroke, ADD, Parkinsons, MS, ALS and even schizophrenia - I found his knowledge into me and my body to be profound. Van is a gifted and knowledgeable healer. Forgive the long rave, but anyone with an interest in enhancing their wellness and brain/body connection should check out Van Harding and Tahoe Neuro Healing. I was able to enjoy quality time with my mom and actually feel well for my last day and a half in the Truckee/Tahoe area. Time is precious, and I'm so grateful to Van and Tahoe Neural Healing for restoring me so quickly so I could enjoy time with my family.

These natural and non-invasive therapies promote brain cell growth and neuron connections - this is known as neuroplasticity - also they increase brain function by synchronizing neuron timing and support brain health.
