This saying holds so much truth in regards to our health and acupuncture. It is all too easy to get caught up in the go go go pace of life, frantically trying to get everything done in a day only to push our health and well being to the bottom of the list. Who has time to stretch anyway? Over time this mistreatment of the body builds up and one day you wake up sore and achy, stiff and slightly slower than the day before.
People ask; "Why Acupuncture?" My goal as a health care practitioner is to facilitate health and wellbeing for my patients physically, emotionally and spiritually. I advocate health through education of the body and by bridging the gap between the Eastern and Western medical perspectives. I always knew that I was meant to help others and it is with deep gratitude that I have found the healing arts of Chinese and Japanese medicine.
For optimum health, balancing every aspect of your being is essential. From an Oriental medicine perspective, the foods you eat, the amount of exercise you get, and your mental outlook all contribute to your overall health. Together we will discuss achievable ways that you can break old or damaging habits and restore health and wellbeing.
While Shiatsu and Tuina are offered at River City Wellness, they are done so as part of an acupuncture treatment. This therapy is generally provided after the acupuncture session and typically lasts for 5-10 minutes. They are not offered as stand alone therapies. Shiatsu, a massage technique of Japanese origin, is a physical therapy that supports the body's natural ability to heal.
By now most of you have heard of acupuncture or at least know someone who has received a treatment. While acupuncture popularity is growing, most know little about how it works or what to expect at a treatment. Overall the experience of getting acupuncture at River City Wellness should be calming and restorative.

Lindsay is incredibly knowledgeable, highly skilled in her profession, and knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and cared about as an individual. Not only did I experience major relief from chronic neck pain after just a couple of sessions, but she made me feel incredibly at ease & comfortable during acupuncture (I hate needles with a passion, so this was huge for me!). Highly recommend!

Lindsay treated my husband for Alpha Gal (meat allergy) and a milk allergy. Prior to his SAAT treatment, he was extremely allergic to red meat and pork for 10+ years due to Alpha Gal, which is caused by a tick bite. After the treatment, he followed her instructions and can now eat any red meat or pork! It has been life changing! He also can now drink milk without sensitivity. We were very skeptical of the process, but trusted Lindsay's expertise. She truly goes above and beyond to take care of each client. She is professional, knowledgeable and caring. She even set up a face time call so that I

Dr Lindsay Matthews took her time with me and asked relevant questions and made sure any questions that I had were thoroughly answered before proceeding. We discussed my options and she devised a health plan tailored for my current health status as well as goals for improvement.
Overall, I couldn't be more impressed and plan on having her as my Dr for a very long time! She's definitely a keeper!

After months of countless doctor visits and no answers, I was recommended to Lindsey through a friend. I wasn’t sure what to expect being new to acupuncture. But after one visit, I already felt better! Lindsey is a wealth of knowledge and will take the time to get to know you, develop a tailored plan, and start your healing journey. Highly recommend!

Lindsay has always been great to work with. She always has an idea for a treatment protocol based on the update she gets from me. When I've hit a wall it's one of my go to therapies. I'd highly recommend River City Wellness. It's a conveniently located office on the east side and super easy to schedule online!

I have been working with Lindsay for a couple of years and cannot say enough good things about the work she does. She always starts off a session with getting an update on what has been going on to better understand which areas we need to target during the session. Lindsay has worked me in on many occasions when I decide on a whim that a treatment is what I need to get me out of a slump.
