I contacted Mary via her website on a whim Tuesday night and was booked within an hour the following morning. Now on to the actual services....I made an appointment for a 90 minute massage and acupuncture...her services exceeded my expectations. Mary listened to my concerns and proceeded to use a combination of acupressure, deep tissue massage, acupuncture AND cupping to ease the pain I was experiencing in my Neck and upper back. She not only focused on my pain but also used certain acupuncture points to help with some insomnia I've been battling. Let me also mention that Mary was very informative and explained what she was doing and why as well, and answered any questions I had. The farm animals are a bonus! So sad that I live too far away to see Mary on a regular basis. Anytime I'm in Asheville I'll be sure to see her again. Thank you Mary for your kindness, expertise and helping me feel 100x better. If you're in the area go see her!

I'm in town from San Francisco for two weeks of partner acrobatics training at Pitch Catch Circus,…read morebut wanted to see an acupuncturist for my neck/shoulder pain so that I could be in tip top shape. After Day 1 of training, my acro partner and I were able to see Daniel Gonzalez regarding our issues. Daniel and Tony who was at the front desk that day were very accommodating in seeing us even though we were 20 min late for our appointments (it was at the end of the day). Daniel used dry needling technique and was able to pin point the origin of the issue with not only the neck/shoulder but wrist pain on my right side, which came from some major knots in the forearm. I felt soreness the day after but much more open while training. After Day 2-3 of training, I noticed my calves were incredibly tight despite doing body work with Yoga Tuneup balls... including rolling and sustained compression during breaks. On the afternoon of Day 3 of training, I rolled my ankle (not major but enough to prevent me from training the rest of the day). Of course I called the clinic to see if Daniel would be available to see me that afternoon. Before I even mentioned anything about my calves, Daniel said on the phone well, depending on the severity of the swelling on the ankle he may or may not use needles there but often the origin on the issue is upstream like in the calves. So during the second session, after releasing the ridiculous amount of knots in my calves, Daniel offered a pro bono session during the weekend to follow up. I am here on a Sat afternoon writing this review onsite. Because of my rolled ankle on the left side, my right quad became really tight from using it more during the last two days of training. I am so so grateful to have found the Alternative Clinic and stumbled upon Daniel! I highly highly recommend this clinic!

Dr. Alaina did full body x-rays, thoroughly assessed my posture, prescribed me exercises specific to the way my spine was curved to help take pressure off of and unwind the curves, and correct my posture. my pain levels went from severe to mild when i consistently do these exercises and wear my brace. the brace she make's accessible to her scoliosis patients is made from 3D technology that is custom made specifically for each individual. the brace, in combination with the exercises has reduced the size of my curves. when i found this practice, i was in a state of chronic agony and pain for years and no matter what i did i could not relieve it. she brought me out of this state of constant pain that was weighing me down everyday. i am extremely grateful that a practice like this exists in my hometown, they are a needle in a haystack.

I called and left a message about hoping to get in quickly for a consult and an adjustment due to some back strain from moving/biking/life. However, being in meetings on a Monday and Tuesday meant little time to actually try to schedule something - can't be stepping out to make calls constantly. Dr. Steven was able to work with my schedule over text, and within a matter of minutes, I had an appointment that fit my schedule, and he gave me some (very reasonable) cost for services. I wasn't in the quaint waiting room before Dr. Steven came in to get me. On time. His demeanor was very casual and welcoming, which I love. I had a chiropractor once whose mannerisms were so erratic, I would always get nervous he was going to snap something or trip over his own feet (he was good, though, but man, just made me nervous). We went to his office, and he sat down and listened to me. Just sitting down and conversing with me meant a lot - no jittery movements, no multitasking, no BS. He took a great history and did some test movements to make sure he wouldn't injure anything before doing an adjustment. His adjustments lasted a fair bit longer than I have had in the past, as I usually get a quick crack or two then shoved onto a traction machine or some other contraption. Not Dr. Steven. Using only his handiwork and one handheld tool, he manipulated, massaged, stretched, moved, and then adjusted me. He educated me on some of my body's natural mobility, and the rationales for why I might be feeling some of my pains. After our appointment, he gave me some GREAT tips on how to improve my pain and spine health at home, and offered me to just message him and set up another appointment. In today's hectic world, finding someone who is accommodating, flexible, and skillful is a daunting task. Add on Dr. Steven's excellent demeanor, knowledge, and fair pricing - and you've got yourself a fantastic doctor. Thanks again, Dr. Steven - I will be back!
