I tried acupuncture as a last attempt to recover from elbow tendinitis. After the first visit, my pain decreased by about 65%. Suddenly I could move and lift without pain. I've had one follow up visit so far, and every time I leave feeling less pain. I wish I had found this place sooner.

Community Acupuncture Clinic…read more Yes, when I turned 60 (a while ago) the dreaded aches and pains started showing up everywhere. Also, at that time I read the book, Younger Next Year which I haven't been able to get out of my head. Though I can't tell a lot about chapters mostly aging and staying motivated, I do know that the premise is keep moving! Three years ago some part of my nerve/tendon/muscle structure got pinched. I'm not sure of the origin of it but it was likely from trying to lift (and drop) heavy boxes headed for the attic. My job (Metro bus driver) provides me with good insurance, so I first went to Ballard Health Clinic for massage. Though I have an excellent opinion of BHC, the pain and range of motion issues were getting worse. Driving a bus for hours really pushed me into an overuse situation. While this was certainly a bother, my stiffness was tolerable. The things changed as I would wake up with pain and tingling down my right arm and hand. Painful to the point of keeping me up for hours. Continuing to bus drive, do yard work, and play toss was putting me into a spiral I didn't understand. With Sonja's help, and support from my primary and BHC I learned my pain and problem was Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), which involves compression of the nerves and arteries in the lower neck and upper chest area. I've known Sonja a very long time, and we've talked about her practice at the clinic, but I didn't understand acupuncture. I would come to the clinic, find my favorite chair and needles were getting place everywhere. With TOS and overuse, it took several visits to reverse this spiral. Stretching and icing also helps and now I can get into a preventative routine and use CAP/Burien to keep the chi moving. One more thing... about my insurance. Even I figured out how to self-submit to Regence and access my benefit. Part of keep moving is to not allow things like a little paperwork to become roadblocks. I value a lot the positive support and encourage of CAP/Burien to stay active. 70 is just around the corner. Patrick

When I first considered acupuncture, I wanted to make sure I went into it with a level head and…read morereasonable expectation. I wasn't a skeptic by any means, but I do sometimes suffer from "if it doesn't work immediately, it won't work at all" syndrome. So I remember telling myself to treat it like physical therapy. Commit to going in regular intervals for a reasonable period of time, and expect improvement to be slow and steady. I suffer from an autoimmune disorder and am already showing signs of a secondary one (which according to my doctors; it's common for autoimmune disease sufferers to eventually start collecting bonus diseases). Working at a bakery at the time of my first sessions, it was difficult for me to spend long shifts lifting heavy bags of baking ingredients and getting up and down on my knees to clean the bakery machinery. One day, only a few weeks into regular treatments (twice a week), a coworker commented on how I wasn't using my mobility aids to get up and down and wanted to know how I was doing it! I couldn't believe I hadn't even realized! But after that comment, I absolutely started realizing ALL the little things that I was suddenly doing that I hadn't been able to without pain or help for nearly a decade. I felt like I had gone through a factory reset! My joints, my menstrual cycle, and even my mental health improved so much in such a short time. I will never be able to thank the practitioners at CAP enough for everything they do for me to keep my body and mind strong and mobile! If you are hesitant due to a fear of needles, or are confused about the community room setting, please do yourself a favor and at least give it a try! It could change your life.

After Phil put the needles in me, I started to notice that my headache subsided and I began to get tired. After my appointment was finished, Phil assured me that we would get through some of the issues I'm having. I'm really glad I found this business and it's a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

I'm fair enough that I can recognize a good physician that provides good medical treatment…read more However, ethically, I cannot recommend Dr. Cho. After months of searching for an Acupuncturist, I located Dr. Cho who is an in-network provider for my health Insurance carrier. Upon completion of my initial visit, he informed he's not billing Insurance and I would have to pay for my visit out of pocket and seek reimbursement from the insurance company. I thought it to be a little odd but no problem. He swiped my card for $120 and informed he'd email me a receipt. Cool! I received the receipt the following week and immediately submitted it to my insurance company to seek reimbursement less my $25 co-pay. A couple of months go by and I had not received reimbursement. I contacted the Insurance company and was informed the provider (Dr. Cho) billed for treatment and was reimbursed instead. I sent Dr. Cho an email inquiring about reimbursement and he insisted he had not billed for my service and has not been paid. I argued with my insurance company for about a month, filed a Department of Insurance complaint as I'm am owed $95. So finally 4 months later I got a call from an Executive with the insurance company confirming Dr. Cho in fact billed and was reimbursed and he should be the one reimbursing me and Dr. Cho should NOT be requiring contracted patients to pay upfront. Fast forward to today, I receive an email from Dr. Cho offering to reimburse me but at a lower rate than what I'm owed. No sir, you will pay me everything I am owed and not a penny less. He's agreed to reimburse the $95 I am owed. I do plan to have him pursued for Insurance fraud.
