3 Best Acupuncture in Sioux Falls, SD

My name is Pat and I have suffered from migraines and fibromyalgia my whole life. I have taken handfuls of medications, tried yoga, exercise, alcohol consumption and still had the pain and headaches. I missed an average of 2 days work every 2 weeks or so due to my ailments. My time off has been spent sleeping or doing as little as possible. I had practically given up hope of ever feeling better, then I met Nicole at a Women’s Expo. I made an appointment that day to try acupuncture. Acupuncture and chiropractic has saved me. I don’t have as many migraines and the severity of them is decreased significantly. The fibromyalgia pain is gone. The acupuncture has taken the fibro pain away. I haven’t missed one day of work the whole month of November. Totally awesome to feel good after so long in misery. Thank God for Nicole.

I developed left shoulder pain that just came on – no certain event. I went to three practitioners with very little improvement as I was not able to lift very much weight with my left arm. I heard of acupuncture before but Dr. Nicole’s informational talk at the senior citizen’s center answered my questions that I was willing to try it. She advised that I would need several treatments before seeing improvements. A mosquito bite causes more discomfort than the needles. I asked Dr. Nicole to also treat my high blood pressure. Now my arm is 85-90% useful where before it was 50%. My blood pressure has dropped below my medical doctor’s level that he wanted 180/70. I try to maintain two week intervals between appointments to stay at the same level of enjoyment of life. After having three practitioners of which one was physical therapist, try to help. I was ready for relief that Dr. Nicole provides for me.

I have had many years of tremendous pain and tension in my neck and shoulders. I had been treating it with massage therapy and had decent but temporary results. My major complaint when I started to see Dr. Nicole was headaches and a noticeable hump that had started to form. Since starting acupuncture and cupping, I have noticed a decrease in my headaches and a much greater range of motion in my shoulders that I haven’t had in many years – I even see a change in the appearance of my hump on my neck. I am a fan for life of acupuncture and Dr. Nicole. I encourage anyone to try this treatment. It works.

Five years ago, I was referred to Natural Arts Chiropractic & Acupuncture by a friend. New to town, I needed a Chiropractor to provide relief for chronic neck pain caused by a car accident in 1999. I started with the Chiropractic adjustments, and added the Acupuncture after about 6 months. I was thrilled when I found immediate pain relief following my very first acupuncture appointment. Because of the success, I continued regular acupuncture treatments for several months. During one visit, Dr. Smith suggested that if I strengthened my neck and shoulder muscles, my adjustment would hold longer, and wouldn't have to come in as often. With this suggestion, I started to work out at a local gym. Not only did that work, but within 1 year of my new exercise program, I became a competitive body builder at age 47! Currently, I come in for adjustments about once every month or so. I can't say enough wonderful things about the treatment I've received at Natural Arts. I have never once felt that they were trying to get me into a regular routine of visits, like I had experienced with other Chiropractors. I've always felt like they really wanted me to feel better, reach a maintenance level, with less frequent visits. The doctors and staff are all wonderful. Although I love to see them, I prefer coming in less often.

I dealt with infertility for years due to endometriosis. I started going to Natural Arts Chiropractic & Acupuncture and seeing Dr. Tricia Smith for acupuncture. It allows blood to flow where it is needed to optimize your chances of getting pregnant and allows you to completely relax. Dr. Tricia is a very caring and understanding woman. She wants nothing more than a positive outcome. I am so fortunate to have her and acupuncture as part of my fertility journey. I am now a mother of twins and feel that acupuncture played a key role in the success of becoming pregnant and carrying my children.

Thank you for taking me as a patient and helping my husband and I fulfill our dreams to become parents. After 2 ultrasounds, I can confidently say we are pregnant! ... and due June 1. We are so thrilled and grateful to those who have helped us along the way.
