Testimonials

I went to get acupressure because I was past my pregnacy due date, but after the appointment I felt like I was walking on air. I had a lot of energy, my pains were gone, and I realized I needed it more than I really knew. She is understanding and very professional. I would definitely recommend Dr. Graves.

Dr. Carrie Johnson is what all physicians should be–knowledgeable, concerned, and caring. She listened and worked with me as an individual. She took me from a life of fear of exacerbating the already constant pain to a life where I can be physically active because the pain can be eliminated by her skilled treatment. Not only did she provide healing with accupuncture to relieve TMJ and radiating nerve pain, she also taught me two simple exercises that extend the effect... Read more »
I am a sr citizen and have been going to Dr. Carrie for a year and am hooked on acupuncture!! She helped me with losing weight and lowering my blood pressure. A great way to stay well and maybe someday all insurance carriers will see to it to cover acupuncture as a medical treatment.
I am a fitness freak: I like cross-country running,cycling, weight lifting, playing basketball and racquetball. But at a certain point I started having severe back pains, spasms and hamstring tightening which sidelined me for quite a while as I tried physical therapy but I did not get immediate relief I was looking for. Then I visited with Dr Carrie Johnson for initial visit and analysis of my condition, at first I was skeptical but Dr Carrie Johnson made me a believer of Acupuncture and Active release techniques.

Let me start by saying I am a certified CrossFit trainer with multiple specialty certifications and I am also a USAW certified Sport Performance Coach. I have dealt with minor injuries before but nothing that forced me to consider some type of rehab or treatment plan. While training high volume or a competition I suffered a low back injury. After months of rest and self prescribed rehab I wasn’t getting back to the shape I wanted and my symptoms persisted.... Read more »

Acupuncture as a Supportive Therapy in Cancer Care

Published July 20, 2026

Anyone going through cancer treatment remembers certain milestones; diagnosis day, first/last day of chemo, and hopefully the eventual all clear appointment. First, the focus is on survival. But as the weeks pass, it isn’t just cancer that patients are fighting. It’s the nausea that lingers for days, the bone-deep fatigue, the sleepless nights, and the anxiety that creeps in quietly when the room is dark.

Oncologists often warn that, “Treatment can be as challenging as the disease itself.” What… Read more »

Can Acupuncture Bring Relief Between Multiple Sclerosis Relapses?

Published July 6, 2026

A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) can change life in an instant. One minute you’re seemingly fine and the next you find yourself in a neurologist’s office. Symptoms can creep in over a few months. Symptoms like tingling in the hands, unexplained fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix, and moments where your legs feel like they don’t belong to you.

MS is a chronic neurological condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerves, disrupting communication between… Read more »

Acupuncture for Stress and Anxiety: A Research-Backed Guide to How and Why It Works

Published June 22, 2026

Stress and anxiety have become defining health concerns of modern life. Fast communication, demanding schedules, and constant stimulation keep many people in a near-continuous “fight-or-flight” state. Over time this activation can disrupt sleep, digestion, mood, immune function, and cardiovascular health.

While conventional treatments such as psychotherapy and medication can be highly effective, many individuals seek complementary approaches that regulate the body rather than simply suppress symptoms. One of the most studied integrative options is acupuncture, a traditional East Asian… Read more »
