Community Acupuncture Clinic…read more Yes, when I turned 60 (a while ago) the dreaded aches and pains started showing up everywhere. Also, at that time I read the book, Younger Next Year which I haven't been able to get out of my head. Though I can't tell a lot about chapters mostly aging and staying motivated, I do know that the premise is keep moving! Three years ago some part of my nerve/tendon/muscle structure got pinched. I'm not sure of the origin of it but it was likely from trying to lift (and drop) heavy boxes headed for the attic. My job (Metro bus driver) provides me with good insurance, so I first went to Ballard Health Clinic for massage. Though I have an excellent opinion of BHC, the pain and range of motion issues were getting worse. Driving a bus for hours really pushed me into an overuse situation. While this was certainly a bother, my stiffness was tolerable. The things changed as I would wake up with pain and tingling down my right arm and hand. Painful to the point of keeping me up for hours. Continuing to bus drive, do yard work, and play toss was putting me into a spiral I didn't understand. With Sonja's help, and support from my primary and BHC I learned my pain and problem was Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), which involves compression of the nerves and arteries in the lower neck and upper chest area. I've known Sonja a very long time, and we've talked about her practice at the clinic, but I didn't understand acupuncture. I would come to the clinic, find my favorite chair and needles were getting place everywhere. With TOS and overuse, it took several visits to reverse this spiral. Stretching and icing also helps and now I can get into a preventative routine and use CAP/Burien to keep the chi moving. One more thing... about my insurance. Even I figured out how to self-submit to Regence and access my benefit. Part of keep moving is to not allow things like a little paperwork to become roadblocks. I value a lot the positive support and encourage of CAP/Burien to stay active. 70 is just around the corner. Patrick

I came in feeling defeated from chronic L5 bulging disk - after doing physical therapy, medical…read moretreatment with a physiatrist, then doing steroid with x-ray injections - I was slated for a part removal of my disk {Back surgery} - I didn't know where to turn. A friend recommended acupuncture and I decided to call around. A bit taken back by the lack of openings for new patients & the price I hit a road block. I gave it a week & tried again calling around W Seattle and I found Community Acupuncture had a 5:20 opening - same day. From Nov 30 - Dec 14 I've tried 7 times and have been able to sleep on both sides, lean over to tie/zip my shoes and carry a laundry basket downstairs. I've been down nearly 8 months. Cynthia has been amazing at being encouraging, educational & compassionate. I can't say thank you enough to CAP - you've give me back my spark.

I've been dealing with some issues related to insomnia and I needed some relief. I've tried…read moreacupuncture before but stopped going when my sleep issues resolved. Now that they're back again, I decided to seek out acupuncture again. I stumbled across Burien family acupuncture and spoke to Phil. He got me a same-day appointment and we had a really good discussion about some of the issues that I've been going through. I've been walking around like a zombie for days with exhaustion. After Phil put the needles in me, I started to notice that my headache subsided and I began to get tired. After my appointment was finished, Phil assured me that we would get through some of the issues I'm having. I'm really glad I found this business and it's a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

I wanted to try accupuncture because some close friends recommend it. They said it may take 2 or 3…read moremonths to see results. I have had 3 treatments and I just read the mostly positive Yelp reviews today. I'm disappointed to read Hannah H's review because I don't think a medical professional should practice religious or any form of discrimination. Dr. Ji is an OMD, Oriental Medical Doctor, but when he started talking about Adam and Eve and what they ate in the Garden of Eden, I listened closely. He referred to the Bible several times. It wasn't just an example of having a plant-based diet, he seems to be a Christian Fundamentalist. He talked at length about fermentation and related it to the whole digestive system. I'll spare the details. His medical philosophy is eastern-based overlaid with Christian dogma. A little disappointing! In the future, I'll keep it focussed on the great massages, acuppressure and acupuncture, which I will stick [pun] with for 2 or 3 months to see results
