Review from Eric N.

I must admit that I'm pretty new to Eastern medicinal techniques. I've struggled with tension headaches, stiff shoulders and general discomfort whenever I start training hard for outrigger paddling.
I came to Eunice on the recommendation of a friend. She is very professional and knowledgeable. The thing that I appreciated most was that she took the time to explain to me what exactly was going on with my body from an eastern perspective. I think she understands that her new patients might not necessarily buy into it, but that it's her job to help you understand so that you can make that leap of faith.
Her approach is wholistic, taking into account, not only the acute physical aspects of my pain, but also my entire lifestyle (i.e. diet). I gotta say, it was rather eye-opening!
I've been active all my life and I've always dealt with pain the "normal" way...pop a few advils, stretch a little, and work through the pain. I definitely look at things a little differently now. I realize my review isn't necessarily focused around the needles which you do feel a little. For me, it was the realization that I didn't need to take unnatural substances to help my body recover. The human body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism...we just need to help it a little.
For newbies, all I can say is that you may not buy into it...EVEN when you feel better...but let the results speak for themselves. You may be surprised... =) -

Those of you who have had acupuncture before:
I'd really recommend going to see Eunice for your treatments
Those of you who haven't:
I was pretty skeptical before getting an acupuncture treatment- really really skeptical, but a friend persuaded me and so I tried it with a not-too open mind.
But shockingly enough, the treatment helped me the first time I went (knee & foot injury) so I've been back for other things, mostly my occasional migraines.
No, you don't really feel the needles, well, I didn't- Eunice is really good about that. I mean, I can tell they're there, but they don't hurt. So don't worry about that part at all. Just give it a try.
The new place is down in Burlingame pretty close to Bart so you can get there easily from the city if you don't have a car. -

I went to Eunice for a Labor Induction acupuncture treatment when I was several days past my pregnancy due date and trying to avoid having to do chemical induction at the hospital. Luckily, she was able to fit me in for an appointment later that day.
Eunice explained the procedure very thoroughly to me. There is some discomfort associated with this particular procedure (which apparently is not true of most acupuncture procedures), and Eunice was very good about making sure I was OK and respecting my limits.
Good news - I went into labor later that same night! I was past my due date, so it is possible I would have gone into labor that night anyway, but I do think that the acupuncture treatment helped speed things along. I highly recommend Eunice.
