Seasonal Allergies
I've suffered from allergies for a long time, after becoming frustrated with the 'off-the-shelf type products' I thought I'd try a natural alternative. From the initial contact with Okanagan Acupuncture I was impressed with their thoroughness in answering my questions and alleviating any concerns. After 2 treatments my symptoms have decreased significantly and I'm optimistic that the results will continue.
Chronic Back Pain
I had been experiencing back pain that limited my ability to walk more than 100 yards. I had dealt with this problem for 7 years. I had tried everything else and nothing worked so I thought I would try acupuncture.
When I first came in the pain was from the back of my knees to my upper back. The pain has been reduced to only my lower back now. It has improved to the point that I am now walking a full kilometer! I am also walking straighter. I am very impressed with my results so far. I hope with continued treatments to completely resolve the pain.

Pulled Hamstring
I have had a light hamstring pull and a sore leg for 20 years or more, after 8 treatments the leg is feeling better than I can remember. -Richard, Kelowna, BC
Quit Smoking
I wanted to quit smoking. I feel by coming in and relaxing with acupuncture that it certainly helped keep me honest by having a constant reminder that I am actually quitting smoking and also after many previous attemps at quitting, the acupuncture certainly seemed to completely eliminate any side effects due to quitting. -Todd, Kelowna, BC
Bell's Palsy
I had Bell's Palsy for 10 days before I started acupuncture treatments. I had ten treatments. The results were amazing. Even my doctor was pleased with my progress. -Les, Kelowna, BC
Shingles
I was diagnosed with early stages of shingles and went in for acupuncture as one of the methods of treatment. I was feeling bad for a couple weeks and decided to try acupuncture. After one week I felt much better and able to enjoy my regular active routine. -Phil, Kelowna, BC
Frozen Shoulder
I've had a frozen shoulder for 7 months. I've had 9 physiotherapy treatments then decided on acupuncture, which I've never had. I've had 7 treatments and my pain is gone, and haven't needed any more painkillers. Thank you, James. -Marie, Kelowna, BC
Neck and Shoulder Pain
I had been suffering with a painful neck and shoulder for almost four years following a car accident. Also I was experiencing pain with my hand for a few weeks. Then I went for a few acupuncture treatments and I am happy to report that they have helped me greatly to have me free of pain.
During each treatment I was able to take a short "cat-nap", altogether an enjoyable experience. I must add here that the staff are very caring, and the treatment rooms very comfortable. -Beatrice, Kelowna, BC
Sports Injuries
I am a local rock climber. I am 50 years old. I come for acupuncture first when I am injured. My body is in top form. I am also a vegetarian. I do not drink or smoke. I am expecting to climb hard into my 60's. Thanks for keeping me well. -John, Kelowna, BC
Lower Back Pain
I was having severe lower back pain. I saw my medical doctor and was given pain killers. I could only sleep 3 hours at a time, waking up in pain.
I decided to try acupuncture as my father did 40 years ago and the results are way beyond my expectation. My pain is virtually gone and I am again enjoying life to its fullest. -Ron, Kelowna, BC
