Complete Care

I am so happy that I found Kim! She is incredibly talented and caring woman. I have acupuncture before but never seen results as quickly as I did with Kim. She takes the time to go over EVERYTHING that could be going on with your body. The intake information let me know that she was really serious about helping me. She’s got an amazing touch and made me feel at ease instantly. The space is warm and inviting and extremely quiet so that I could relax fully. I have never had a problem with getting in for my weekly visit. Even better, I can schedule online! This is so convenient, especially because it sends you an email reminder. If you are considering giving acupuncture a try, I highly recommend you try Kim! - JP

A Great Alternative to Western Medicine

Kim’s Chinese medicine practice on me has brought about a process of healing that is beginning to undo many ills that I’ve had for most of my life about which western medicine could do nothing but trade one disease for another. For example I used to have chronic headaches for which western doctors always prescribed Ibuprofen which just transfers the pain from my head to my gut. Ibuprofen merely removes a symptom but fixes nothing, in fact just creates other problems. Kim taught me how to direct the tension, which is just energy really, down to my feet and with the aid of the acupuncture needles and herbs I’ve learned how to free myself of tension headaches without burning my stomach. She also managed to clear up a recurring staff infection that I had on my face for over 20 years that western doctors were never able to diagnose correctly. And that’s to say nothing about helping me get my anger under control without drugging me senseless. Go Kim! - GF

More Energy – Less Depression!

I recently had several reasons to try acupuncture and Chinese massage for the first time. I’ve been low-energy for several months and generally been in a bad mood most of the time. Several friends told me that acupuncture can help with these issues (as well as other ailments like allergies). I decided to visit Kim Knight at Tensegrity Health Acupuncture, and it was a great experience. The first thing I liked about Kim was that she was easy to talk to. She was friendly, attentive, and interested in developing a treatment plan focused on the problems that had been bothering me. Her intake process was valuable in helping me identify the main issues from the past few months. The process also made me more aware of the connections between different experiences (sleep patterns, appetite, etc.) and how they may relate to what’s bothering me. The acupuncture part of the session felt gentle and skilled. Each point that was stimulated felt like a dull ache, but the sensations were never too intense. This part of the session turned out to be quite relaxing, and I think I fell asleep for a few minutes. Kim also used the acupuncture needles to relieve a few areas of muscle tension in my shoulders and upper neck. It surprised me how quickly the muscles released their tension with this treatment. Kim also made use of Chinese massage techniques to further relieve muscle soreness. The active nature of the massage work was a pleasant counterpoint to the stillness of the acupuncture. I have been back to Kim for a second session and continue to be impressed with her knowledge and technique. My energy level has been higher, and I’ve found myself in better moods much of the time and with enthusiasm that did not exist before. - KP

Fantastic Healing Presence

I’ve been seeing Kim weekly since October of 2007, my first acupuncture experience. Kim helped me get through the winter without being cold for the first time in years. Usually a few times in winter I get so chilled that a hot shower is the only remedy, but not this winter. She also provided amazing stress relief when I was facing losing a loved one, allowing me to focus on what needed to be done instead of just freaking out. She listens and has a fantastic healing presence. One of the things I really appreciated is when a bunch of viruses were going around, Kim told me to call her if I even thought I was getting sick so she could treat me before I did. I never took her up on it because… I haven’t been sick once since I started seeing her; not one cold, even when nearly everyone I knew had one. My treatments are virtually pain free — the occasional needle stings for a few seconds, but the whole process is much more pleasurable than I’d anticipated. Her office is soothing and pretty, parking is great, and so far she’s never kept me waiting. - EM

A New Life Without Pain

I had resigned myself to headaches, swollen ankles, stiff joints, and sore muscles. I was well on my way to diabetes if I didn’t lose some weight but each attempt to increase my activity level ended with even stiffer joints and more aches. Kim has helped stop that cycle. Her treatments reduced the swelling and aches. Her advice on how to improve my diet has likely saved my life. Good eats too! Her herbal remedies have boosted my immune system giving me more energy to get the exercise and to feel well enough to continue exercising. Finally, Kim is one of the more special people you’ll ever meet. - RB

Alternative Cure for Back Pain!

I first started seeing Kim over a year for back pain that would not go away. With the combination of Acupuncture and a Chiropractor all of my pain is gone. I have kept going for other reasons such as my digestion and energy which have all vastly improved. Kim is very nurturing, kind & makes you feel very safe in her care. She explains the process well & never makes you feel like you have asked a dumb question. I have been taking the herbs that I get from her for energy and feel so much better. Kim is a wonderful person!‎ - JB

Boosted Immune System

I have been seeing Kim now for about a year. When I first went, I was skeptical, but now I have seen the Light! I was tired often, my body was in regular pain and I was getting sick relatively frequently. After much treatment, I now feel great! I have better energy, my body feels better and my immune system seems to be quite powerful now. I now list Acupuncture in my personal budget as “preventative medicine” because that’s exactly what it is. It is much more than just some random stress relief spa treatment sort of experience, that is for certain! Kim, herself, is a great person. She is up front about the procedure and answers any questions you might have. She makes you feel comfortable and initially that was a big deal. Now, I feel comfortable on my own accord but that continued feeling is still very important, which she helps keep ever present. Her skills are magnificent, bordering on magickal! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good acupuncturist. - DF

Practically Miraculous!

I’ve always been skeptical about unfamiliar medical practices, but I was completely amazed by the results of my treatment with Kim.  After a fire in my home I had 2nd degree burns and was very concerned about infection and scarring. In addition to regular cleaning and dressing of the burns, I received acupuncture and herbal treatments from Kim to speed the healing process and keep my immune system strong. Amazingly, my debilitating burns were completely healed within two weeks. I had no signs of infection at any time and only a couple small shallow scars in the end. Thanks Kim!‎ – JT

Knowledgeable and Thorough

Kim Knight is a great Acupuncturist! She is kind, professional and knowledgeable. She takes the time to talk to patients and address their individual concerns. As a fellow Acupuncturist I would, and have, recommended friends and colleagues to her. She is wonderful!‎ - LP

Chronic Pain Treatment

I have had chronic pain in my shoulder and back from a car accident, and my osteopath recommended acupuncture. I don’t like needles, so I put it off for years. I was nervous. Yesterday I had my very first acupuncture experience EVER here, and I cannot recommend Kim highly enough. If you are even thinking about acupuncture, but maybe you are a little nervous about it, go see Kim!! Kim will patiently and expertly answer all of your questions. In addition to the information I received, I also felt well cared-for and nurtured. Kim is a warm and loving person who cares about her patients and their well-being–physical, mental, and emotional. It was incredibly interesting to observe the different sensations and reactions to each point, and how different they all were. One of the particularly neat things about the experience is that I feel like I learned an enormous amount about acupuncture. Before I even got on the table, Kimshowed me the different kinds of needles in their packages, and then took one out and explained the sleeve/guide/tube thing that helps the needle to be properly located and poked herself with it so I could see how it works. Then she took the needle out and let me play with it (like bend it to see how flexible it is, for example). This really put me at ease, and made me a lot less nervous about everything. As a person who has been known for great needle resistance (after the car accident that smashed my face and ripped open my intestine, it took a rather long time for the nurses/doctors to convince me to take a shot for pain–this when I couldn’t take anything orally), I’m fascinated by how acupuncture works, or the theory and technology behind it, and that it somehow seems way less scary than I would expect a needle-phobic person to find it. I called Mom and my boyfriend and talked their ears off. My appointment also included cupping and massage. It felt so good, and today I feel great. Not “all better forever,” but “much improved from the norm.” My left shoulder (the one that has been like unto perpetually messed up due to the rear-end car accidents) feels different. It is hard to explain what I mean by “different” (as my two shoulders have felt like entirely different and unrelated body parts for years) other than to say it is A Good Thing. I feel very nurtured from the experience, and I am very much looking forward to going back!  - EB

Great Preventative Medicine

I had never used non-western medicine before, but after a few years of feeling pain in my joints and a general fatigue that wouldn’t abate, a good friend recommended Kim. I was open but not too optimistic. I can’t begin to describe how glad I am that I took my friends advice . Kim is very welcoming and open about her practice and the fact that results may take time. Well, I had immediate relief after the first visit, and it has only gotten better with each new visit. Don’t wait, go now! – CB

Alternative treatment to Stress

When I first went to Kim for acupuncture, I didn’t think it could help with my stress level. I’m young and healthy and though acupuncture was for people who have obvious aliments. After my hour appointment with Kim, which ended in a shoulder massage, I was a new person. I went home happy, relaxed, and in good spirits overall. With our western lifestyles, we forget to take time out to nurture ourselves. A little eastern therapy is a perfect remedy for reducing stress. – FF

Healthcare that Listens

I came to Kim with a few minor, but annoying issues. She listened carefully, asked pertinent questions and handled everything with compassionate professionalism. I look forward to my treatments! – CM

Integrative Treatment

I enjoyed Kim’s integration of TCM techniques in addressing my issues. The acupuncture, cupping and massage combination was very relaxing and much appreciated. Definitely will return and recommend to others. – KS

Professional AND effective!

Kim was a pleasure to work with – professional without sacrificing warmth and genuine concern. Her treatment was relaxing and very beneficial. I look forward to continuing my family’s care under her expertise. – TB

Pain Free for the first time in Three Years!

I have had a nerve/repetitive motion injury in my right shoulder/arm for over three years. After yesterday’s acupuncture/cupping/massage session, I am pain free! I love Kim and look forward to every visit. – CM

Friendly, Informative and Professional

I’ve been wanting to try acupuncture for years. My session with Kim was my first, and it was wonderfully relaxing and calming. It definitely helped me get through the crazy rush hour traffic after my session. I had a truly pleasant first acupuncture experience. It was comfortable and informative. – AS

Alternative help for ankle sprain

Kim helped immensely with a nasty sprain. Within 24 hours of my treatment, the redness and swelling were virtually gone. I’ve seen Kim off and on over the years for illness, stress and now injury, and she’s always been very effective. – EM

Great first time experience

My son and I had our first acupuncture experience with her. She was very helpful and informative. We both felt relief and will continue to seek acupuncture as a treatment for what we have. thank you Kim! just wish we lived closer and appreciate your time flexiability. – JP

AWESOME!

Kim was very informative and really listened. She addressed all of my concerns instead of just focusing on a few in order to get me to come back for more, and the result was incredible. After my appointment with Kim I don’t think I’ll ever waste my money on a massage again. Relaxing as massages are, Kim’s practice was much more effective and produced more permanent results. I will definitely return to her and recommend her to anyone and everyone. – KM

Skilled and Compassionate

Kim has helped me with a variety of pain conditions, and really took a comprehensive view of my health issues. She has used acupuncture, herbs, tuina massage and cupping, and has helped with nutritional and activity advice. Kim is also knowledgeable about western medical practice and encourages me to take an active role in my treatment. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone! – JS

Alternative treatment for peripheral neuropathy

I suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a nerve ailment that leaves my hands in a constant “sleep like” condition that at times is very painfull…after one treatment with Kim my hands are so much better..Ive taken a lot of medication that really didnt work….but now Ive found the cure…I am looking forward to seeing Kim again and becoming even more pain free! – KD

In one word: FANTASTIC!

I ran across Kim and her practice from a “Groupon” email. After many years of dealing with Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and a few other things with no help from western medicine I figured why not. Kim is both professional and personable. I felt very comfortable and relaxed while she worked with me. Upon arrival I was at a 8-9 on the pain scale and when I left I was about a 4. I have not felt so good in MANY years! Thank you Kim!!! I look forward to working with you again very soon! – JM

Alternative treatment for sinus congestion and allergies

I consulted Ms. Knight for treatment of allergies and sinus congestion. She led easily through the litany of health and wellness questions for an assessment and recommended a treatment program with some real hope of balancing my immune system. The actual accupuncture treatment was my first – - sort of a wild ride and a great experience. I look forward to continuing the treatment as well as the results! – BK

Healing Touch

I visited Ms. Knight for assistance with menopausal symptoms, and trouble sleeping. A few minutes on her heated table, a bit of acupuncture, and I was resting beautifully. She noted a tight muscle in my neck that I hadn’t mentioned, and gave it a rub and the pain was gone. I trust the herbs will work for my hot flashes, but they are not expected to work overnight. She has a great approach and I look forward to my next visit. – KH

Alternative approach to Migraines

I visted Kim Knight seeking help for migraine headaches, among other physical issues I was having. Kim was able to help relieve much of the tension in my neck with just a few needles and some muscle work. She’s worked out a great treatment program and after having experienced her work before, I know that there will be very successful results. She’s helped with several issues I’ve had in the past and I have full faith that she will be able to help me again. Bless you Kim! -MK

Acupuncture and science?

I still cannot wrap my brain around how acupuncture works… but I feel that the work Kim has done over the past couple of years has definitely helped with pain. The first time was related to sciatica. The experience was that I had a “puddle of pain” in the sciatic area that seemed to drain after the needles. Most recently I had a badly swollen lower leg, ankle and foot due to an injured knee. The pain was less after an hour of needles with elec stimulation, and some herbal treatments. This am my leg was almost normal size for 1st time in 2 months. – RP
