China and other Asian countries have practiced acupuncture for thousands of years. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the human body is balanced by two conflicting forces called yin and yang. In an imbalanced state, yin the dark, cold, and negative force, and yang the light, warm, and positive force blocks vital energy (qi or chi) from passing through meridians (passageways) in the body and is the cause of disease.
Your lifestyle and eating habits leave a large footprint on your health. Homeopathy is a safe alternative for treating both acute and chronic conditions with minimal side effects. With homeopathy, you can restore your health and feel better. If a homeopathic treatment is right for you, you will feel relief without the use of conventional medicines that can have problematic side-effects.
Lab testing can let us help you to achieve optimum health! Just getting into better shape next year is not enough to limit your risk of health problems. Did you know that even if you have a healthy diet and take a multi-vitamin that does not mean your body is actually absorbing what you need?. Did you know that as we age, our ability to absorb certain nutrients declines?

I have been under the care of Dr. Perkins for almost 2 months. At first, I was skeptical about this type of therapy that the VA recommended - which I told Dr. Perkins. I had reservations if it would help my injuries or not. Dr. Perkins was completely professional, took her time evaluating my issues and set up a plan that would benefit me the most.
After a few visits, a trust formed between us that transcends my worries about this type of therapy and I saw progress right away. My issues are military related (back, neck, leg, foot, and both shoulders) now after 2 months of therapy 2 to 3 times a week, I'm down to just pain from back and neck and reduced issues in my shoulders. Leg pain gone! Foot pain getting alot better.
She didn't try to solicit any promotional products - I asked! Cooling gel is awesome! I highly recommend her therapy, advice and healthier living suggestions. As a bonus: Sam (Office Manager) is awesome and is on top of all appointments.

Dr Michelle Perkins and her staff (Sam) are wonderful and caring people and really do a great job with my back pain. Dr Perkins does a complete job to help get rid of my chronic back pain. I had tried using the Veterans Administration and she is hands down much better and does a thorough job on my back to get rid of all my back pain. I highly recommend Dr Perkins!:)

An utterly amazing & gifted doctor! When I first went to Dr Perkins I could not stand for even 10 minutes without excruciating pain. After *one* acupuncture treatment I found so much relief and increase of functionality that I am absolutely thrilled! In addition to drastic pain improvement she has identified genetic health condition and provided vitamins and supplements which have drastically improved energy and mood.
She is very caring and compassionate and her staff is delightful to work with. Update: I wrote a review a long time back but I am writing one again. Dr. Perkins did so much good for my back that I had not been in to see her in quite a while. But I went in today for assistance with back and shoulder pain. Please explain to me how I can go have somebody stick dozens of pins in me and I walk out an hour later feeling so good and so relaxed.
Truly amazing. I would have thought I just had a massage. I can't explain it, but acupuncture works and Dr. Perkins is the best acupuncturist I have ever been to. She is also quite knowledgeable with TCM and other medical/nutritional areas as well. Top notch.

If you have tried everything to stop smoking/vaping and really feel it is time to QUIT, Dr. Perkins was it for me. 49 years, a pack of menthol a day. I tried Chantix, patches, hypnosis and vaping to cut down/stop. When breathing became noticeably harder it was time to try something different. Acupuncture and Dr. Perkins whole process made it incredibly easy to quit.
This was 5 months ago. I didn't want to believe it but I still have no desire. Dr. Perkins will be there with you for how ever long it takes you. Make this your FIRST choice. Very little weight gain snd if that gets worse I'll go right back to NaturalMed Thrrapies.

I have been with Dr. Perkins since few years ago. The practitioner I was going to before, retired and I needed to find a new one. I was skeptical at first with Dr. Perkins until the first consultation, tests and test results reading. She was very thorough and patient with my many questions. She let me borrow few books of hers to help me gain more knowledge and information about the topics I was interested about. Couple of friends that I referred to her were very satisfied as well. I love the office's relaxing atmosphere as well as Dr. Perkins demeanor.

I have had chronic and debilitating low back and bilateral hip pain for more than 2 decades. I did all of the regular western medicine stuff. Xrays, injections, physical therapy, rest, stretch and the list goes on. My life changed the day I walked into Dr. Perkins office. The difference? She is a healer. She is so adept at acupuncture that I felt relief after the first treatment.
My case required multiple sessions at first and now I have tapered to twice a month Before seeing her I could not walk a block or do every day activities without horrible pain. Now I walk 2 miles a day, engage in strength training and have started dancing! Dr. Perkins cares deeply for her patients and she believes in healing instead of masking. She listens to you with such compassion and gentleness and then gives you what you came for.

Dr. Perkins is a gifted practitioner who is completely focused on the well-being of her patients. Dr. Perkins is very knowledgeable of treatment options and has a wealth of tests available to assist in determining the best treatment plan. Office time is focused exclusively on the patient and not shared with others.

Dr Perkins has been in business for 17+ years and established a well known practice. I and many friends have been treated by her and rave about the health benefits. The office is very professional, relaxing and clean. Something that sets this practice apart is Dr Perkins spends an hour with each client and shows sincere compassion. She offers several different modalities not just Acupuncture. Also, she offers 2 different laser treatments and homepathic injections.
She is very knowledgeable in spectracell lab testing and other diagnostic lab testing, this is unique from testing available from a regular MD. In addition, they are fully stocked with physician grade supplements for sale.
