I've seen 5+ acupuncturists in different major cities and Karen is the most effective acupuncturist I've ever seen. She's especially good at pain management—she's been treating my traps, upper back, middle back, and neck for about a year and a half. She helped identify that a lot of my trap and wrist pain may come from my neck. Seeing her always presents a total nervous system reset that totally relaxes me and keeps me out of pain for 5+ days despite my stressful, demanding, 24/7 office job. She is extremely flexible—able to work on many areas with short notice and also very helpful for pure relaxation sessions, hormones, energy, etc—and I'm always able to be honest… read full review

Reviews
I’ve been seeing Karen for over four years and she is truly amazing. She has helped me through every stage of my fertility journey, including successful IVF cycles—my own doctor even credited her acupuncture for helping a polyp disappear, allowing me to avoid surgery.
She is currently helping me stay relaxed and strong through my pregnancy, and has also resolved my long-standing digestion issues.
The office environment is incredibly peaceful, and I often find myself napping during my treatments. Plus, street parking is always accessible, which makes every visit stress-free. I’m so grateful for her care!
Karen Adams is absolutely spectacular! She is a skilled acupuncturist and integrates all healing aspects. I went to her to help deal with the side effects associated with breast cancer. I can honestly say that with her expert care I am on my way to full recovery.
