Alamo Acupuncture - Parvati Branch

"My experience with Summer has felt like nothing short of a miracle. I got sick right before Christmas and ended up with what we think was long covid. I was in bed for two days with some light sneezing and cough, headache and fever. Wasn’t even that bad but once the fever was over my body deteriorated rapidly. I just wasn’t able to get out of bed. Something was wrong with my brain and no matter how much sleep I got or what healthy food I ate, my body just couldn’t muster enough strength to stand up and do anything. I just wasn’t recovering and I was literally in bed until January 9th when my little one started school again. Even then, my husband had to do everything for me in the morning because I just couldn’t wake up. It would take me about an hour and a half after leaving the sleep state to be able to wake up enough to open my eyes to try to start to stand up. Some mornings my son would come in and just push me over and over again. I was like a rag doll and couldn’t open my eyes if I wanted to. Even after I was up moving around my brain was still not fully able to wake up. I couldn’t function. I was out of it and my body was weak. I homeschool and we couldn’t do math because the first grade math was too complicated for me to figure out and process. I was falling asleep while my son was reading. It was a nightmare. It was scary. I am not new to acupuncture but have moved around a lot and have had to consistently find new acupuncture doctors over the years. Plus, it’s not easy finding a great doctor that truly knows the medicine the way it should really be practiced. I was optimistic when I came in to see Summer but I was blown away when I woke up the morning after my first appointment feeling great. I left my first session with her feeling relaxed but the same. Then after getting home I felt a little worse, which is normal. Went to bed a few hours later and literally woke up the next morning feeling good and revitalized. I was energized and ready to go. I just sat up and got out of bed. I was awake! It was amazing. It was a miracle! And I have continued to have energy and vitality every day since then with only three sessions. Summer is literally the best!!! If I hadn’t gone in to see her our family would’ve had to make major life changes like quit homeschooling. I also like that she discussed diet with me and will explain everything thoroughly. There is no shortage of information coming from her which is big for me. I’m big on information and explanation. She is the best and words cannot express how grateful I am to have found this clinic!!"

"I came in to see Summer for my first treatment last week. After my first treatment I felt so good I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been having some acute pain in my arms and shoulders. I do everything I can to alleviate the pain, massages, cupping, stretching etc. Coming to see Summer for treatment was the best decision I’ve ever made. It felt like the other stuff I was doing was only scratching the surface of the problem. I feel like I was finally heard and listened to. Summer went above and beyond any expectations I had for treatment. Yes, I had needles put in, but an electrical stimulator was used in addition to the needles and she did some cupping and a tiny bit of blood letting to remove the stagnation in my body and help the overall blood flow. I felt no pain during the treatment and I was able to sleep restfully and my arms were pain free. I loved my experience so much that I went back again and look forward to continuing consistent appointments to keep up the results. I only have one body. I’ve got to take care of it. Summer educated me on things I was doing that were contributing to my pain and gave me information on how to improve my current condition. Thank you again Summer."

"Fantastic clinic, care, and experience over all. Practitioner Summer Chien is kind, caring, patient, gentle, and vested in helping her patients achieve a successful pain-free outcome.
