Testimonials

  • Testimonial – Kim G.
    Oakland Acupuncture ProjectI have been a patient at the Oakland Acupuncture Project for three years. The acupuncture treatments have been very effective in relieving the arthritis pain in my hip and shoulder.  Acupuncture is also great for relieving stress.  I am grateful an affordable drug-free treatment is available for these chronic conditions.
