Acupuncture & Herbal Solutions is here to serve Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Suffolk, and Newport News. Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for pain, disease, and loss of well-being that opens up the body's meridians and encourages the body's natural healing process.
Dr. Amanda Leuthardt, DACM, L.Ac is a licensed acupuncturist who was introduced to the life-changing benefits of Chinese Medicine in her yearly 20's after years of debilitating digestive issues. Having tried every Western medical treatment to no avail, Amanda sought out another way. She was referred to a Chinese herbal practitioner, who in only six months turned Amanda's health around in ways she never thought possible. This experience only fueled her desire to practice alternative medicine, even more, giving her direction and passion.

Acupuncture has been employed as a health care modality for over 5,000 years. Modern science has begun to understand the secrets of this ancient medicine with the support of new studies conducted by leading scientists, hospitals and medical research facilities from all over the world. Today, acupuncture is receiving wide acceptance as a respected, valid and effective form of health care. In a systematic review published by Spine Journal, acupuncture has been shown to have significantly favorable effects on chronic low back pain.

I have been with Amanda for many years. Almost a decade, really. Amanda is a true healer. I appreciate her gifted balance between physical & spiritual health. She has helped guide me through so many seasons of my life- and I am forever grateful. Amanda is a true gift to the medical & spiritual world.

I went to Acupuncture & Herbal solutions for insomnia. I have severe sleep apnea (can't use a CPAP machine) and have suffered with insomnia for close to 15 years. My sleep study shows I NDVER go into REM sleep. Out of desperation I decided to try acupuncture and have never been more thankful for anything. The first time I saw Amanda I dreamt that night for the first time in 15 years.
I've been seeing Amanda every three weeks & it drastically changed my life. My sleep issues are now usually one night a week vs 365 days without good sleep. My energy level has increased & I feel much better. I highly recommend Amanda & Acupuncture & Herbal Solutions. On a five star scale I give both 10 stars!

I sought Amanda out for acupuncture treatments after having heard about her from a friend. She showed compassion and patience throughout the sessions and took the time to listen my concerns and answer my questions in depth about qi deficiency. She recommended a few dietary changes and a course of acupuncture sessions. At the end of my first time, I felt calm and relaxed.
The next day I felt a marked improvement in energy level. By the end of the 5th session, I felt my overall quality of life had improved. I would absolutely recommend Amanda for acupuncture.

I was introduced to acupuncturist by Dr. Amanda Leuthardt and was skeptical that the treatment would be able to help me. I have severe sciolosis and had thought I would have to live with pain in my back for the rest of my life. I have been to a Family Doctor, an Orthopedic Surgeon and a Neurologist. I have gone to physical therapy and had treatments by a Chiropractor and there was no relief. I went to see Dr. Leuthardt and after the first treatment, I was and continue to be pain free!. I highly recommend her!

I've had several treatments from Amanda and found her knowledgeable, intuitive, and quick to respond and adapt. She's a wonderful listener and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. There's a huge difference after each session and a real cumulative effect after regular treatments. I feel better than I have in years!

Amanda is one of the BEST in her field! She has such a friendly and loving bedside manner, always makes you feel heard, is proficient in her knowledge of TCM/herbs, and is always willing to explain how our emotions and daily stresses can show up within our body. I leave there feeling not only relaxed and happy, but also educated with a game plan for continued healing and optimal health. Her treatments provide great relief. If you're looking for a spectacular accupuncture experience, Amanda is definitely the lady to see. ENJOY!

I've had treatments from Amanda and she's just wonderful, her passion for her work really shows. She listens and you know she cares about helping you heal and not just making you feel better ( that's just a bonus) she's given me treatments ranging from knee injury to migraines and I was amazed With the results.

A must try! I was tired of feeling tired, anxious and not present in my day to day life. A friend told me to come here, as a last resort I did and I am so glad I did and wish I came years ago! I felt better after the first treatment. More energy no brain fog and more like my old self! The staff is amazing and couldn't imagine a better environment.

Acupuncture and Herbal is a gift to this community. When a half-dozen doctors failed to diagnose my wife's debilitating condition, we nearly despaired of ever treating it. The best they could do was lifelong prescriptions of Percocet to numb the pain (and gradually destroy the liver in the process). But Susan was able to instantly understand, diagnose, and treat the root issue, with dramatic improvements after only a month or two of treatment.
While Traditional Chinese Medicine is new for us (my background is in western Exercise Physiology), we've been won over by Susan's accurate predictions and effective treatment. Susan is very gentle and conservative in her treatments, easing us into various lifestyle changes and balancing short-term wins with long term goals. We can't recommend her enough.

Susan and the Staff are nothing short of AMAZING! You will immediately feel a sense of Calm when you're in this place. Susan has helped me with Menopause issues that Western Medicine Doctors said I would NEVER be able to get rid of without medication. The medication made me feel sick.so I tried Acupuncture and I'm so thrilled to say I feel better than ever and with no side effects!
I was referred to Susan by a friend who had trouble getting pregnant. After seeing Susan, she got pregnant. This lady knows what she's doing and was also an RN. She had knowledge in all areas. My girlfriend in California keeps telling me how she wishes she could find someone like Susan. I'm so happy I did! 3/11/18 I wanted to add that Susan's treatments got rid of my Hot Flashes! I'm beyond happy. My Hormones are more balanced than ever before. No medications. Just a few treatments a month for maintenance.

I have been a patient for more than ten years and am a true believer in the power of Acupuncture! Susan is a gifted healer and her wonderful staff is warm, caring and treats you like family. Susan has helped me with a plethora of conditions over the past decade (lifelong asthmatic and allergy sufferer, back pain and knee pain caused by injury) and I can attest that receiving regular treatment has helped to heal my body in so many ways.
The office is located in the heart of Ghent where parking is always accessible, the ambiance is serene and I always leave feeling more relaxed and at peace. I have friends who are non believers yet always wonder why I'm never sick and have such a cheerful sun-shiny personality (for the record, this girl NEVER had perfect attendance in grades K-12 nor tried any "happy pills" of any type-it's all about the qi/chi, baby!). For what it's worth, give it a try! Heck of a lot more accessible than most specialists and cheaper than some of those Big Pharma meds!

My family and I have been going to Susan for 2 years now and she has helped us tremendously with our issues. I used to get really bad allergies and since going to her my allergies have completely gone away. It didn't even take too many sessions either. I can always relax while I'm there too.; She is AMAZING at what she does and she knows exactly what she is doing. I TRUST HER completely. Her staff is great and will make sure to get you an appointment since Susan is ALWAYS really busy and booked for weeks at a time.

Susan and her staff literally changed my life. I had such anxiety and depression about a medical diagnosis of unexplained infertility for over 3.5 yrs and I just felt like I was at the end of my rope. I was at the crossroad of deciding between huge expenses for more fertility treatments, or take some down time to collect what was left of me after 2 yrs of grueling procedures and disappointments.
On my first visit. Susan sat me down and really talked and listened to everything.and there was A LOT.like really dug deep into my emotional side and gave me life changing advice, she poured positive energy into my ways of thinking, and I have to admit we had some fun too! The office is all about you as a person holistically, which is missing in western medicine.
I changed my diet, exercise, thoughts, and stress management under Susan's supervision, while taking my herbs and visited at least once a week at the beginning. It became my "me" time, just to the benefit me so I could gain strength emotionally, physically, and be in a good place to get back on track in life. I never once felt pressured into trying anything I wasn't comfortable with, and Susan was very knowledgable and easy to talk to if I did have any questions or concerns.
The office even refers and hosts stress management classes, breath-works meditation, and tai-chi. I became a believer 7 months ago because I'm happy to report I will be welcoming my "acupuncture" baby girl in May. Thank you Susan and the wonderful staff in the many roles you played in my successful recovery and journey into fertility and motherhood! Blessings!

Susan helped me recently with reducing the pain and swelling after having oral surgery. During the acupuncture treatment, I was amazed to feel some pain relief almost immediately after she placed the needles. I had also been experiencing extreme swelling that I could not get to subside with medication/ice/heat, but the treatment seemed to help it start to finally go down and to boost the healing process in the days following.
I have had several treatments at Acupuncture & Herbal Solutions in the past for other issues and it has always been an extremely relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Susan really listens and is able to come up with a treatment to address the causes of my symptoms. I highly recommend Acupuncture & Herbal Solutions--the clinic is warm and inviting, the staff is delightful, and Susan is great!
