I like the personal attention I get from Barbara and the comprehensive nature of the treatment. Other therapies, like physical therapy, have been effective for me, but instead of working on just my shoulder or low back, Barbara can address those pain issues plus my skin problems and my inflammation. I appreciate that Lynette helps work out the insurance and that they are open on Saturdays, which makes it easier for me to come. I've been very satisfied with my treatments here. -Susan John, Upland
2004 was my first visit. I came in because migraine headaches were taking over my life. After two sessions I was pain-free. So pain-free I cried. I had a couple of flare-ups in the next year or so, but after so many years of constant pain, I was finally able to experience no pain. I am such a believer in acupuncture and Barbara Burns! Barbara has also helped me with my sinus allergies, insomnia, and post-menopausal symptoms and headaches. I will consult Barbara before I will consult western MDs because western medicine tends to coat the problem rather than getting to the root cause, like acupuncture does.

When I started acupuncture with Barbara Burns about 5 years ago, I was suffering daily migraines and was taking 5 migraine medications. My migraines were debilitating and every night I would come home and have to go to a dark room without noise. They were interfering with my work and life with my husband and son. Based upon my doctor’s recommendation, I started acupuncture with Barbara. She provided me regular acupuncture treatments, herbs, and regular guidance on how to change my diet and manage my stress levels. I am now off all medications and can’t remember the last time I had a migraine.
After receiving regular acupuncture treatments, instead of suffering a migraine without any warning that did not react to numerous medications, the migraines came on much more slowly, I recognized the early signs, and could completely prevent the migraine from occurring through methods taught to me by Barbara. Eventually, the migraines stopped and I continue acupuncture less frequently for regular maintenance. Barbara put me in control of migraines and helped me get my life back to normal.

I was talked into coming here for my horrible allergies and spent an hour talking about my other complaints: worn out knees, balance, energy.
And after one treatment, I walked out without allergies, energy and balance was restored, and I felt like a totally new person! I now come every two weeks to get "recharged" and keep my energy, knees and balance on track.
And I have no more allergies! I had them so bad I could barely stay one day with my daughter who has two cats and now I can stay for four days no problem. I'm 94 and still going strong.
Because of my good results, my daughter started going to acupuncture 4 years ago for her asthma and has not been to the ER since, and my granddaughter is managing her bipolar disorder with regular acupuncture. -Marjorie P., Sierra Madre

I have a number of complicated health issues that could be daunting. Ms. Burns tackles them carefully, with thoughtful understanding. Her cheerful humor makes the process more comfortable. She helps me control chronic pain (i.e. MS, fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines, neuropathy), allowing the reduction in medications. Sometimes the acupuncture treatment is the only relief possible. Ms. Burns’ work contributes to longer term changes in my body’s flexibility and mobility that is not possible with physical therapy alone.
A number of acupuncturists have worked with my challenges. I am very pleased to have found Barbara Burns to help me work with them. I look forward to the benefits of her skillful efforts.

I had previously worn a brace for four years to help support the pain of carpal tunnel in my forearm. Now since I started acupuncture, I no longer need the brace, and the pain is relieved. Also, before acupuncture I had problems with my shoulder pain and all summer could not even lift a pitcher of juice out of the refrigerator without dropping it! With acupuncture and following Barbara’s recommendations to stretch, strengthen and pay close attention to symptoms, I have had great results.

Barbara is a great listener and has an incredible ability to asses health problems and provide the appropriate treatment. She explains the reasoning for her approaches for acupuncture and herb prescriptions.
Always thoughtful and caring, both Barbara and Lynette create a unique office experience that is comforting, healing, and fun! I’ve presented Barbara with a variety of ailments including fatigue, headaches, PMS, hot flashes, mood swings, food cravings, insomnia, stress, anxiety, teeth grinding, digestion upsets, food allergies, respiratory troubles, and sinus congestion and she has always provided relief. I really appreciate Barbara’s thoroughness and her persistence in getting to the root of an ailment. Both her office visits and the treatments she prescribes are affordable. I’ve tried many other practitioners including chiropractors, western medicine, naturopaths, yoga, massage, and psychotherapy. While all have been helpful, Barbara’s work has had the most positive affect on my health and healing.
