This ancient Japanese touch therapy similar to massage has shown real results for managing chronic pain. The practice of Reiki sounds almost too good to be true. By “laying on hands” on specific parts of your body or even just positioning hands slightly above your body, a qualified Reiki practitioner can help bring relief to [...]
NEWSWEEK, January 24, 2011 If you follow the news about health research, you risk whiplash. First garlic lowers bad cholesterol, then—after more study—it doesn’t. Hormone replacement reduces the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women, until a huge study finds that it doesn’t (and that it raises the risk of breast cancer to boot). Eating [...]
WASHINGTON | Mon Dec 1, 2008 WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Acupuncture works better than drugs like aspirin to reduce the severity and frequency of chronic headaches, U.S. researchers reported on Monday. A review of studies involving nearly 4,000 patients with migraine, tension headache and other forms of chronic headache showed that that 62 percent of the [...]
After my retirement from the NFL, I experienced nagging pain from injuries I received on the field. I was referred to Amy Lewis by a former teammate for help with pain relief and overall wellness. Amy is great! She has helped me get rid of pain and continue to stay healthy. I recommend Amy to the guys who are playing now, my fellow "retirees", and everyone looking for a way to get and stay healthy!

I was not sleeping well 5 out of 7 nights a week due to peri-menopausal symptoms of night sweats and insomnia. I experienced much improved sleep patterns and NO night sweats after my first few treatments. Now, I just see Amy for a seasonal maintenance "tune-up." I don't think it's just the acupuncture--it's Amy. What impresses me is her perceptiveness and sensitivity, as well as her expertise.

After years of alternating handfuls of Aleve, Bufferin and Tylenol to manage pain from old high-school/college football knee injuries, I read one too many articles on how bad constant use of those pills can be. Turned to acupuncture with a why-the-hell-not attitude and became totally converted by Amy. After a few weeks of treatment, the need for all those pills evaporated and I now feel better than I have in 15-20 years. Today I see her every few weeks to make sure I will keep going for another 15-20 years.

I am a practicing anesthesiologist, who had very limited experience with acupuncture. I suffered from generalized anxiety as well as specific muscular aches and pains. I found my experience to be extremely helpful, with a level of professionalism that was refreshing. I strongly advocate patient participation and education in the manage- ment of health care. Amy Lewis supports this philosophy and can be a tremendous resource in enabling the patient to better understand their health care strategies.

As a Division 1 athlete, I can't afford to stay hurt! I came to acupuncture for a slightly torn ACL and back spasms. My doctor had put me on muscle relaxants and I didn't want to keep taking them. In just a few treatments my back pain was completely gone and my knee pain was 80% better. I am back in school now, finishing my sophomore year and I played the WHOLE season without any reinjury!!!

I have a serious chronic illness and I see dozens of doctors on a regular basis. Amy is the only one who actually asks me about other parts of my life besides my disease. She stresses that all disease has a mind-body-spirit connection and is teaching me how to live a healthier, happier life. Thank you!

Massage is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, the benefits are varied and far-reaching. As an [...]
