Acupuncture in Norfolk

“From the time I entered C.A.C., I feel welcome and relaxed. The staff is always friendly. The 10 minute roller table always prepares my body for the imminent session. Dr. Ryan is just as affable as his staff. He gets right to work and makes all necessary adjustments. He is willing to answer any questions I have and responds with thoughtful, relevant suggestions. I leave knowing my money and time were well spent. I recommend this practice without reservation for anyone who needs an adjustment. Thank you Dr Ryan and staff!“

“Susan is the most intuitive, talented acupuncturist I have ever seen. I am so grateful for her care that allowed better healing and rest of the mind. She focused on the most pertinent issues of the day, and always listened carefully. She is incredible. She is able to chase pain until no pain is felt. Amazing. She is so talented that I have not found anyone who could make me feel as good and relaxed with decreased symptoms as she did. Thank you!“

“I started Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in late September 2024. I completed 40 treatments over an eight-week span. I wanted to wait a bit (six weeks) after completing the HBOT sessions to leave a review so I could determine the extent of my improvement.
First, I immediately noted changed in my body physically and mentally. The initial physical or nervous system changes I noted was actually increased discomfort in my shoulders. I’ve had surgery in both shoulders about ten years ago. I was cautious as the initial sensation was a worsening of discomfort. I reported this to the staff and they ensured I was aware of the physiologic changes going on in my body. With the HBOT, I was in essence “waking up” nerves around my shoulder that had sort of gone dormant due to minimal use over the previous ten years. I continued the therapy and within another two-weeks, the discomfort was decreased extensively. I used to wake up nightly due to shoulder discomfort. After roughly 4 weeks or therapy, I was able to sleep through the night without shoulder pain. Now, six weeks after completing therapy, I am still able to sleep through the night without any shoulder discomfort.
Second, I’ve struggled with sleep for years. Mostly due to headaches and shoulder pain. I also seldom dream while sleeping. I’d say I recall having dreamt maybe 2 or 3 times per month. After a couple weeks of HBOT, I was dreaming nightly.
This therapy works! It was waking up (oxygenating) my nervous system and it felt great. And it still does. I have less brain fog and have greater mental clarity. I don’t know if this is purely HBOT or a combination of factors such as HBOT and improved sleep, but I don’t care.
I am ever great fuel of this therapy and the team, Tier 1 Therapies, that provide it.
I felt safe and monitored before, during, and after my therapy.
One can expect roughly 90 minutes max per session. 10-15 minutes changing clothes, loading the chamber and getting to depth to start therapy. 60 minutes at depth on oxygen. Then 10-15 minutes surfacing, unloading the chamber, and getting changed back into the clothes you arrived in. It did take a commitment on my part, but it has been so worth that effort.
Positives: Less pain. Improved sleep. Increased mental clarity. Increased confidence. Increased mobility leading to more effort in the gym. Improved quality time with my family and friends.
Negative: And I was warned about this by the staff - My vision actually improved! However, six weeks later, I have needed my “readers” once again. But, as I stated, the staff warned me of this.
Thanks you T1T! You are making a difference in peoples lives and you all are very much appreciated.
If you have the opportunity to participate in this therapy, I most highly recommend it!“

“Recently I developed a pinched nerve on my back and, after 10 days of suffering, I decided to seek help. I called Smith Chiropractic and scheduled an appointment for the next day. The day of the appointment I walked in the office in pain and unable to bend. Dr. Smith treatment completely relieved any pain and limitations that I had and restored my full flexibility that very day. When I asked when to come back, as all other chiropractors require, I was told to call back if I developed any discomfort. I periodically develop a pinched nerve when I work out. Now I will not hesitate to seek Dr. Smith's help at the first sign of pain. Dr. Smith is an incredibly gifted and caring physician, as is his cordial office assistant. I heartily recommend Dr. Smith. He performed a miracle on me. Thank you Dr. Smith“

“Jill is a skilled and knowledgable acupuncturist - I highly recommend that you visit her beautiful office! She conducts very thoughtful intakes before each treatment which lends to her holistic approach. I always feel SO much relief from physical pain and emotional stress after sessions with Jill, and I have noticed that when I get in a consistent routine of receiving acupuncture my troubles diminish almost completely. 10/10 recommend!“

“Excellent Chiropractor. Kind, warm, knowledgeable and great at what he does. I would give 10 stars if possible. His staff is kind as well.“
