Anonymous I suffered from debilitating sciatica for over two months. I could not sleep in my bed, sit down at the dinner table or ride comfortably in a car. I had seen an orthopedic physician, but did not receive any relief. With my first acupuncture treatment at Points of Health, I noticed a decrease in the severity of my pain. With a few follow up treatments I was completely pain free. Now, at the first sign of back pain I seek acupuncture treatment and it progresses no further. I am so thankful to Points of Health for bei... read more

Iron/Varicose Veins/Sciatica I went to Craig Rigsby at Points of Health to treat issues with my pregnancy:Iron/Varicose Veins/Sciatica. After my first appointment, I was so relaxed, I finally had a good night sleep! My iron went up and the pain in my legs was alleviated after appointments. Also, when I was nearing and went past my due date, Craig used accupuncture to prepare my body for birth. I went into labor a few hours after an appointment. He was professional, understanding, and caring. I hope to return for a follow up ... read more

My Home for Wellness I was looking for a doctor who would consider me as a whole being and help me address heartburn without over-the-counter medication. I discovered Erik Smith and Points of Health, and I truly feel like I've found my wellness home. I was experiencing chronic heartburn, and after 6 acupuncture sessions with Erik, combined with herbs he prescribed, I'm almost 100% heartburn free. What still blows my mind everytime I go in for an appointment, is that Erik truly listens to what's going on in my life and the co... read more

Incredible Recovery I was in a car accident and left completely crooked. I was unable to walk or drive. The only relief I found was through my acupuncturist Eric Smith. It took a month but I went from a 10 rating of pain and being completely unable to do anything to a 1 or 2 and able to work and live again.

BEST in town!!! Both my husband and I have been seeing Erik Smith at Points of Health. My husband has had several back and knee injuries and at times it has been so bad that he can barely walk. He is a very healthy and active 40 year old. After only a few visits from Erik my husband pain has been considerable reduced. He has tried just about everything imaginable, even other acupuncturists, and only Erik has been successful in helping alleviate his pain. I have had a very weak wrist which resulted in a serious inability to p... read more

Patient Review I was directed to Points of Health and Dr. Erik Smith by a fellow class mate of Erik's. I will forever be grateful. For several years I was suffering from debilitating symptoms; pain, digestive problems, profuse sweating, exhaustion and depression. I could not identify a central point of origin in my body I could address to get well. I was dreading going down the Western Medical path of numerous invasive and expensive tests. I was open to trying a new approach to wellness and achieved results beyond my belief ... read more

Points of Health is a family resource Erik and Points of Health have been an integral resource to my family and me during a number of physical challenges. Most recently, Erik and the accupuncture treatments have greatly facilitated my physical therapy for a fractured wrist. By coordinating my accupuncture sessions with the physical therapy treatments I have been able to significantly increase the degrees of progess on the movement of my wrist and fingers. This is a valuable resource for anyone recovering from an injury where... read more

Points of Health is wonderful! I went to Erik Smith at Points of Health after hearing glowing recommendations from several of my friends. I had hip/groin pain that my doctor had tried to alleviate using conventional medicine. After 2 visits to Erik the pain was gone and I have been pain free ever since. In addition, Erik has treated my seasonal allergies and now I no longer take any allergy medications. But most of all Erik is a kind and compassionate person who listens to me and is concerned about what is going on in my lif... read more

Points of Health is my favorite place for physical therapy! I had a back injury over a decade ago, and I finally decided to try acupuncture this past year. I was nervous about the needles, but Erik instantly set me at ease, with his compassion and expertise. My back always feels better for several weeks after I've been in to see Erik. I also love that he has been able to treat other symptoms, like an elbow injury, while treating my back. The ambiance at POH is welcoming and relaxing! I always look forward to going!
