A lot of us take our health for granted until one day it happened. It could be an accident, something we just woke up with, aging, or finally realized I want to feel healthy again. For me, it was an accident 21 years ago that changed my life. I was jogging and was hit by a pickup truck. For over six months I tried numerous therapies but nothing seemed to help.
My rehabilitation doctor wanted to start doing spinal epidural injections to numb my neck and back pain but I said no because of the potential risks and did not want to numb my pain, I wanted to eliminate it altogether. The only other suggestion my doctor had was to try acupuncture. Yes, just like you, I was skeptical but after a few visits I started to feel relief.

Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being.
According to Chinese medical theory, the symptoms and signs that indicate a Western diagnosis of allergies relate to imbalances in the meridian and Organ Systems of the body. These imbalances may stem from a variety of causes, including stress, poor diet, constitutional weakness, pollutants and environmental toxins.
Acupuncture has been employed as a health care modality for over 5,000 years. Modern science has begun to understand the secrets of this ancient medicine with the support of new studies conducted by leading scientists, hospitals and medical research facilities from all over the world. Today, acupuncture is receiving wide acceptance as a respected, valid and effective form of health care.
Gathering this information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of Qi that may have contributed to a persons health problems. The practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan. Once the imbalances of Qi are detected, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways.
The following treatment methods are used to restore and maintain health. We will determine the best treatment methods for you and only perform methods that you are comfortable with. Small glass cups are placed over sore or tight muscles. A vacuum is created under the cups using suction to increase the flow of Qi and blood within the muscles.

Alison has changed my life! I suffered a back injury almost 10 years ago and have been on strong pain pills for the pain. I was able to finally get off almost all the meds and I am slowly decreasing the remaining meds as they are no longer needed after only 3 treatments! The first morning after I went to see Alison, I got out of bed without pain! For almost 10 years I have had to get out of bed and do several stretches just to get up. Alison truly cares, is personable, professional, incredibly knowledgeable and really takes the time to understand what your needs are. I HIGHLY recommend Alison for

I had issues with my right shoulder blade where every time I went to raise my arm I got a sharp "knife feeling" of pain that was excruciating. After a few visits with Point of Healing the pain went away and its now been 3 years and it hasn't come back. I would Highly recommend them to anyone with any sort of pain.

Alison is great. She is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. You can tell right away her work is important to her. She is also very intuitive and has a good sense for when a person wishes to chat or simply relax quietly. I have visited her a few times now and have had noticeable improvement since meeting her. The business itself is located in a highly professional setting with plenty of parking.

I had decided that I wanted to try acupuncture for my chronic migraines two years ago. I received a referral from a neighbor that Point of Healing was a great place to go. I have since been seeing Rosemary and I am very happy! She is just what I need: calm, knowledgeable, attune to what I need at each treatment. I always feel so much better after a treatment. Now that I have had this prolonged period without acupuncture, I am even more convinced that she has been helping me to heal. My migraines have become much more infrequent and for that I am eternally thankful to Rosemary and Point of Care

While many businesses are closed during this global pandemic, and I am missing my amazing acupuncture treatments from Alison and Rosemary, I am still able to benefit from Chinese herbs on a daily basis. Rosemary is an expert at creating custom herb blends that address individual needs. I’ve been taking Chinese herbs daily for about 2 years and feel so much better. I highly recommend contacting Rosemary Tracy for more information. To your health and healing!

Alison is incredible! She truly listens to your needs and is very thorough with her treatments. She is very knowledgeable and I feel 100% confident in her work. I started with her for chronic migraine pain and to come off medication so I could get pregnant. With her help I successfully conceived the first month and I know my time with her definitely helped. I travel over 30 minutes to see Allison 2-4 times a month because I feel so comfortable when I'm there and feel amazing when I leave!

Point of Healing has completely changed my life! I have been seeing Alison for over a year now and she has helped me tremendously. She has a wonderful, kind, and caring personality and will always bend over backwards to help you. She genuinely cares about her clients and their well-being. Their office is organized, welcoming and very comforting to help clients adjust to be relaxed and ready for their appointments. If I could give Point of Healing 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat and simply changed my life!

I have seen Allison at Point of Healing Acupuncture off and on since 2009 and I don't know what I would do without her!
I highly recommend Allison and Point of Healing Acupuncture for so many reasons. Allison always treats you with dignity, she asks questions that help her to tailor her treatment to your needs and follows up the treatment with suggestions to continue healthy living outside of her treatments. She truly listens. The facility is incredibly clean and comfortable to be in and it is super easy to make appointments through her website. She receives my highest recommendation!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Point of Healing Acupuncture . I adore Alison, and she has truly been a godsend. I recently had back surgery and the way she has treated me has been beyond amazing. During my entire surgery recovery process, Alison was reaching out to me to offer advice and to check-in on my progress and how I was feeling. She listens and takes time to understand your needs. She also will go out of her way to custom tailor a treatment plan for you and makes you feel like a friend. I look forward to my weekly sessions with her, and always know that I will leave feeling

I've been going to Alison for a few months now, for GI distress and motility issues. Alison is very knowledgeable and is able to educate the patient on what she is doing and why. As a fellow healthcare worker (physical therapist), Alison understands what it takes to be a great practitioner. I have recommended to her and will continue to.
