I first saw Danielle several years ago for neck pain and it worked and now I am 33 weeks pregnant with back and hip pain so i tried again. I appreciate the awesome customer service even with a follow up message asking how I was two days later. I have chronic neck pain as a result if an injury almost 30 years ago.
During my twenties and thirties, the prime of life for most people I felt stressed, depressed and in a chronic state of "fight, flight or freeze." I developed diabetes in 1996 at the age of 18 and asked myself "Where did this come from?" For two decades I found myself ashamed about the diagnosis. The quality of my life wasn't good.
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.
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.

I just had my first experience with Acupuncture. I can't compare Danielle with any other. But I can say that I had a very amazing experience. I'm currently scheduled with a spinal orthopedic surgeon for a neck fusion. I've been under pain meds and neck steroid injections until next year for the surgery because of the Coronavirus.Today she was able to make my neck pain more manageable without having to take the meds. What a sweet lady, very compassionate, and understanding of the pain I had been experiencing. She took her time explaining the procedure in detail. 5 Full Stars Plus!!!!! Thank you

Danielle DeFreitas is truly amazing acupuncturist! She provides quality treatment & care...she is passionate to help & support with my recovery. She make sure she provides the quality of treatment I need consistently on every visit. I had a minor car accident on May 2019 that cause chronic pain from my neck, upper back (right shoulder blade radiates to my arms) & lower back. At first, I went to chiropractor for adjustments & I notice that it only helps for my chronic pain temporarily for few hours or the most for couple of days. But when I started seeing Danielle for acupuncture treatment ,my chronic

Danielle is wonderful! She is knowledgeable and has helped me with many different issues. Her treatments are relaxing and effective. She spends a lot of time assessing the situation and treating my specific problems. I feel immediate and lasting relief. I highly recommend her for acupuncture, herbal remedies and cupping. Don't suffer!

I spent two weeks monkeying around with heating pads, Muscle relaxers, Aleve and bed rest trying to appease my sciatic nerve. I was in a lot of pain and could barely walk. I spent an hour with Danielle and the pain is gone!!! Very comprehensive and gentle. I had acupuncture and cupping but never saw a needle or felt any pain. I left feeling fantastic!!! Going back on Friday to make sure my sciatica doesn't come back. Highly recommend!!!
