Alameda Acupuncture

My experience in receiving acupuncture treatments is extensive. I’ve seen numerous practitioners over the years for infertility, acid reflux and tendinitis. This year, I’ve been suffering from tennis elbow /​partial tear in my tendon. I’ve been trying everything from massage therapy, castor oil wrap, flexbar, acupuncture etc. and even stopped playing tennis for 2 months.
Then I recently bumped into Jenny Nieters at a dog park in Pasadena, while she was visiting her family. We started chatting and found out she’s an acupuncturist specializing in sports medicine. I was like «WHAT???» Then she told me about her electroacupuncture treatment technique. Read about it on her website. At the risk of intruding on her time off with her parents, I asked if she can treat me. She said sure and agreed to see me at her parents place that day. Needless to say, neither of us felt worried about our safety. She’s very kind and approachable.
My pain level that day was about 8. After her treatment, it went down to almost 0!!! My pain did come back after a few hours but only about to 3 or 4. And I believe that if she could treat me on a weekly basis, I would recover much faster. But she lives in ALAMEDA!
Please open an office here in Pasadena!

John Nieters has been a huge help to our family. My husband was having a lot of health issues (terrible migraines, stabbing stomach pains, anxiety, the list goes on) and after $ 10,000 in medical bills no western doctor was able to help him. So we went to see John. My husband was diagnosed with a rare auto immune disorder and since he has been in Johns care he has been doing great. I’m not joking when I say that John saved my husbands life.
John helped me to get pregnant, earlier than we all expected, and I had a very comfortable pregnancy because of his help.
John’s staff is great! We are always happily greeted by Monique, both my husband and I have also seen Lynn and Jenny a few times and they are fantastic too. We highly recommend everyone there.

I was recommended by a friend and after a few sessions I essentially felt not listened to and that I was being convinced to buy some over priced, long term, no guarantee program that I just couldn’t really be convinced that was for me. After I said no, it was kinda like I was still being pressured like it was a time share deal. I left very uncomfortable and am never going back and have since found other practitioners that I like.

I have been coming to see John Nieters for over seven years. I was a train wreck when I came to him with a chronic, progressive disease that Western doctors predicted could land me in a wheel chair. I’m happy to say that not only has my condition not worsened, I’m significantly healthier than even before I first got hit with my disease. John literally saved my life. I have recommended him to at least 10 other people and those who have decided to go see him have reported back to me how much better they feel now. John takes a holistic approach in his care for patients — I would recommend him to anyone who really wants to get help.

John and his staff are thoroughly professional while providing personal treatment and offering insights to help me though the medical process. It is great to have such a talented and committed team on my side! And… I love the heat table and other touches that take acupuncture to the next level. John is also a great Tai Chi teacher, but we can’t get him to commit to another class.darn.

Great team at Alameda Acupuncture. I’m grateful for their support in helping me recover from a significant injury. Very supportive and comprehensive.

I was skeptical to say the least but They did what 4 chiropractic treatments and two doctor visits could not due and that was alleviate the pain in my neck. Excellent service Two thumbs up!,

The clinic shines with professionalism, peace, and tranquility. Dr. Nieters takes his time to understands my conditions from a broad perspective, and thanks to his experience and skill, he is always able to offer positive effective help.
I would recommend this clinic highly to anyone looking for great care backed with lots of experience and a balanced perspective from both eastern and western medical thought.

My shoulder has been bothering me for months, so I booked an orthopedic massage and acupuncture from Lynn Belcher. Lynn was absolutely the best– her skills, knowledge, and demeanor made my shoulder feel better than it has in months! For me, nothing matters more than results. After the massage and acupuncture, Dr. John Nieters made me an herbal formula to reduce inflammation, which for me seems to work better than the medication I was previously prescribed.

I am so grateful for Alameda Acupuncture. I’ve been seeking fertility help for a few years now and won’t hesitate to drive up to Alameda (from Santa Cruz) for an appointment. I have complete confidence in the treatment I receive, whether it is the abdominal massage from Lynn, or the herbal remedies from John. What I find most beneficial is that even though I’m seeking help for fertility, Alameda Acupuncture has been able to pinpoint the underlying issues in my health and help guide me down a healthier path. Thank you!!!

I totally trust John and Lynn Belcher with my whole health spectrum! I love the needles and the herbs in general and I really like Lynn Belcher’s tui na and abdominal massage. What a great way to break up stagnation throughout your whole system and tune-​up your body. Also Adrianna Gonzalez’s crania sacral combination with acupuncture-​Wow!
Oh yes!
Just yesterday I went and laid on the infrared treatment table to burn out a cold/​cough thing I have, and today I feel my chest clear and my energy increased! Plus it was super relaxing and warming.
Here’s to your health!
