Innerhealth Acupuncture Clinic is a calm and relaxing place, where you will receive professional treatments. Conveniently located just south of downtown, the clinic is in a charming free-standing converted house and is wheelchair accessible with ample parking. We strive to make your visit as enjoyable and convenient as possible.
One of the things Acupuncture is most known for is treatment pain in general. Acupuncture is excellent for pain relief from both acute and chronic conditions. We treat many types of pain, including neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, tendonitis, knee pain, etc. Acupuncture can be effective for almost any type of pain, and often when other therapies have been uneffective.
What happens during and after a car accident can be traumatic, and can affect the body and the mind. Directly after a car accident, you may not even realize you are injured. Your adrenaline is pumping, you are in fight or flight mode, and you don't feel too much pain. You may only feel a little tension in your neck, shoulders, or back.

Just awesome!!!!!!! I have been suffering from middle back pain for over 10 years. Been to chiropractors, doctors, pills, stretching, PT drawings, etc... Michael right away saw that I was bound up in the middle area by muscle locking up my spine like a fist gripping it. He explained to me what was going on and how acupuncture would help by creating little injuries so to speak that allows the blood flow to go to those areas and leave the effected area if I am correct.
All I can say is that I started to get relief within 2 visits. They are very welcoming and make you feel at home here. I am glad

For months, I have been experiencing pain in my right upper arm near bicep, and it's been traveling from the elbow, back up to the shoulder and the neck. And it's just been getting worse with everything I do. It started out, I think, with stress, dealing with some family issues. Swinging kettle bells, gardening, computer use, cooking, etc. didn't help matters. Well, I just got home from my first visit, and I am so hopeful based on my first appointment results. When I walked in, i couldn't lift my arm above my waist. This picture was taken after my visit, outside of Michael Johnson's parking lot

I really like this place. I came here to seek help for a frozen shoulder. After seeing my family doctor, getting xrays, doing orthopedic manipulation, and an orthopedic surgeon I was fed up with main stream medicine.
I started seeing a great trigger point masseuse (Mike Dukart) and coming to Innerhealth for acupuncture. After two months of massage and acupuncture my frozen shoulder cleared right up!
Michael Johnson is great and the sessions are very relaxing.
Highly recommended!

Before seeing Michael, I had been to multiple professionals to seek help. I really didn't get any relief and felt like I was not progressing. Michael and his staff were great! They made me feel very comfortable from day one. I had no idea what to expect from acupuncture, but after I had my first visit, it felt great! I experienced no pain or discomfort and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I would highly recommend Michael and his team at Innerhealth Clinic and Spa. Thank you

Before coming here I was incredibly skeptical of acupuncture as a practice. I’d never had any desire to try it and honestly the entire concept made me nervous.
That was until I was on McKenzie Highway in August and was rear ended while stationary by a woman doing at least 60MPH. I had some good work done by a great chiropractor and some amazing massage therapists, but it wasn’t until I started going to see Michael and get acupuncture treatments that I started to really get relief and some measurable healing.
Michael is knowledgeable and professional, and I appreciate his technique and ability
