The most significant treatment was when I experienced extreme sciatic pain for the first time since pregnancy.

"I have been having major sciatic problems for months. It was not getting better!! I went to my chiropractor about a month ago. He helped it. But it didn’t go away!!! My neighbor saw me hobbling along going to my car. Told me about Joy at Blue Buddha Acupuncture and how happy she was with Joy!!! Like a dummy I didn’t call right away!! My wife got tired of her 66 year old stubborn husband suffering!! She called and Joy was able to get me in the next day!! I was skeptical that I would get any relief from acupuncture! But after one visit I am a BELIEVER!!! Joy took the time to discuss and really listen to my issues that I was having. After the discussion we had she pinpointed the areas that she thought would help me. She went to work and I did start to feel better during the treatment!! Now less than 24 hrs latter I am feeling much improved!! The pain is almost gone!!! Wow!! Why didn’t I go sooner!!! There was no pressure to sign up for an ongoing treatment plan!!! It was simply come back if you have a need and if you thought her treatment helped. It helped immensely and I set up another appt. I highly recommend Joy at Blue Buddha Acupuncture!!! If your suffering with sciatica and skeptical? Go see Joy!!" -D.B Tigard, OR
“I have decided that you must be a gift from above as no one I know feels this great after a major set back. Even Patty came to me today thanking me for the referral and on how good she feels after only one visit. I feel as though I either need to give you another hug or bow to you as I may do both as you ROCK! Just thought you should know. And as far as when you’ll see me again well I’m not getting any younger so chances are better than 50%. Will send anyone I know your way! Thanks again.” -J.H. Tualatin, OR

"I was really struggling with allergy and stress induced headaches for well over three years. So I decided to do something good for myself and look into possible alternative treatments and that's how I discovered Joy at Blue Buddha….Joy introduced herself and we sat down to talk about my issues. She has a very kind and compassionate way of communication. Something I was missing from my regular doctor. After she got a sense of what type of treatment I was looking for I was able to hop on the table and begin my acupuncture treatment. I've never experienced this before and I really didn't know what to expect. But it was painless and really kind of interesting. After everything was said and done Joy sold me some really great products to help with my allergies. Some Chinese herbal supplements and a neti pot for my nose. I went home that night and used the neti pot and took my first dose of supplements. I honestly can't remember the last time I was able to breath that clearly and sleep as deeply as I did. I woke up the next morning feeling well rested and best of all - NO sneezing or bloody nose. I've since been back to see Joy once again for a follow up and I still feel great. I would highly recommend her services for anyone who is even remotely interested in acupuncture. It doesn't hurt and you leave feeling super mellow…" -A.V. Sherwood, OR

She explained everything that she was doing, prior to performing the Acupuncture. The best part was the warm welcome I received when I arrived.
