I have had problems with both of my achilles for quite some time now and once one flares up the other usually follows and I am down for a few weeks. I was concerned how I would handle an upcoming trip to Europe that required a lot of walking on uneven ground, cobblestone, many stairs and uphill climbing. A friend referred me to Dr. Sam at Life River Acupuncture. Dr. Sam made sure to fit me in for several sessions before my trip and I am delighted to report that I was able to navigate all of the challenges on my trip without any problems! If you've been skeptical of acupuncture in the past, just give Life River Acupuncture a try. They get great results and you will not be sorry!

Greatest acupuncture clinic. Dr Hong and Dr Tseng are both very experienced and can find out your issues even if you don’t know what issues you have. They are very open and friendly and treatment works very quick for many issues. I went in for anxiety and depression and ADHD issues and acupuncture has greatly improved my body. What western medicine can’t help the doctors here can help and sometimes even better than western. Needles also barely hurt due to experience of the doctors. I highly recommend.

Both Dr. Sam and Dr. Melinda have been the most experienced acupuncturists I have ever met. They carefully and cooperatively work on my body after the stroke in January. I was in wheelchair when I left the rehab, and after two months of intense visits here, I am walking without cane and my right hand can use chopsticks now. I’m continuing with treatments they recommended and I’m hopeful they will fully restore my affected right side. My physical therapist was amazed at the speed of my recovery. I’m very grateful to have found them in our area.

I have been coming here for a year now. I was injured at work in 2020 when I broke my neck. I required three neck fusion surgeries. With this injury, I have tried many different types of treatment and some were good. But when I came here to Life River Acupuncture, I started to get real relief from the neck and my headache. I highly recommend their treatment of acupuncture, it has been a life saver for me. Also, the way the Doctors treat you is friendly and knowledgeable about what your body needs. Come and get the best treatment for all of your injuries. I genuinely believe that it's the best acupuncture therapy in Sacramento.
