Alison A. Nelson, M.Ac.

I was recommended by my massage therapist to try acupuncture to treat migraines.  Even though I have a lot of anxiety around needles, I decided to make an appointment.  I started off going once a week for 10 weeks.  After getting my migraines under control, I’ve been going once a month for maintenance.  I was pleasantly surprised to see acupuncture Continue reading

For all the nurses out there with plantar fasciitis, 14 years ago my own patient had recommended I see an acupuncturist for bilateral foot pain due to plantar fasciitis. That’s when I first met Alison. Within a few treatments my pain that I had suffered with for 2 years was gone! Fast forward to a month ago, I stepped out Continue reading

I’ve been seeing Alison off & on as needed for a little over 10 years. I originally went to see her for an opinion on shoulder & back pain while I was getting several injections at a pain clinic.

I started acupuncture at Point of Healing in the fall of 2016, I heard on Channel 5 news that acupuncture was good for joint problems, so I thought I’d give it a try.

Fourteen years ago, I fell down a few stairs and ripped ligaments on both sides of my ankle/leg. I was on a cane for 10 months because there was not one medical doctor that could help me.

Alison truly understands how complex these conditions can be. She did not just look at Continue reading

I highly recommend Point of Healing Acupuncture and Alison Nelson. What sets Alison apart is that she doesn’t simply perform acupuncture treatments—she takes the time to understand the whole person and the underlying causes of their concerns.

I have been going to Alison’s Point of Healing since 2012. I was an athlete in HS and College and wore down my body. I’ve had numerous surgeries and joint replacements, but after a fall I suffered a spinal cord injury is when I realized I needed more help. Alison has great knowledge and experience with acupuncture, that has helped Continue reading

Over the last year I have lost a significant amount of weight, leaving my face and neck looking aged and feeling saggy, lifeless, dull and dry.

Prior to my first visit with Alison, I had been experiencing pain in my right shoulder for seven months. I had seen my family physician and several specialists. None of them had been able to help me.

I had chronic nausea and vomiting for all three of my pregnancies. I was put on prescription meds to help but it just suppressed it periodically during the day. After just three of Alison’s treatment sessions my chronic nausea and vomiting was eliminated. Treatments for the swelling in my lower legs and feet were also successful. In one weeks time Continue reading

My primary reason for seeking acupuncture treatments from Alison over a year ago was for worsening PMS symptoms. The couple of days of physical discomfort and mood changes that I used to have began lasting for a couple of weeks, consuming half my life! My OB/GYN suggested birth control pills or antidepressants. Not wanting to go that route, at a Continue reading

I’ve been going to Alison for almost 2 years, and quite simply I’m so very grateful to her and acupuncture. I had never had acupuncture before. Initially, frustration in dealing with Plantar Fasciitis had me looking for anything or anyone who could help me. But of course, as most people over the age of 50, I have other issues too: Continue reading

I was referred to Alison by my Chiropractor and Massage Therapist because I had sharp pain in my neck and upper back. I called Alison and she made room for me the next day. The first treatment helped quite a bit and overall I felt very relaxed. My second treatment was amazing, about halfway through I could feel my back Continue reading

I think acupuncture is truly amazing. I was in a state of mental confusion due to menopause. It was a battle for me to organize my thoughts. It was difficult for me to do my job and function.

After visiting many doctors who specialize with inner ear disorders and hearing the same negative feedback, it was extremely refreshing to walk into Alison’s office. She was attentive and genuinely wanted to help alleviate my symptoms. She took her time and asked a myriad of questions, to get a feel for what may be causing the issues.

Every other medical Continue reading

At first I was very hesitant about trying acupuncture. Physical therapy offered some relief but it wasn’t until I tried acupuncture that the pain and discomfort began to subside significantly. Alison is a very knowledgeable practitioner. She is soft spoken, focused, and skilled. I am very grateful to her for all her help.

Early 2012 I herniated a disc. I have no idea how I did this. I met with two neurosurgeons and was told surgery was an option, but there was no guarantee that the issue would not return. My pain was pretty bad and I was very uncomfortable. I decided I would try acupuncture as I had gone before (different practitioner). Continue reading

The most important reason I began seeking out acupuncture was because of infertility. Although, I have suffered from headaches and shoulder tension for years I truly was hoping to find an acupuncturist that could help with my infertility and other minor conditions. For three years my husband and I were trying to become pregnant. I had seen a few other Continue reading

I began seeing Alison for acupuncture to supplement my IVF treatment (I’m due to have a baby girl in three weeks) but it turned out that she was able to help me with so much more than just my IVF treatments.

For 4 years I have suffered from chronic headaches as a result of several concussions. The one thing that has helped above all others is seeing Alison for acupuncture treatments. Nothing else has helped so much or lasted so long. Thank you so much Alison for relieving me of so much pain.

She is also Continue reading

I suffered for many years with seasonal allergies, exacerbated by stress. My symptoms included headache, congestion, severe fatigue, and a feeling of “brain fog”. Medications provided varying degrees of temporary relief from the headache and congestion, but always with accompanying side effects. Allergy “shots” administered by a doctor over a two-year period were not helpful.

After hearing that a friend’s Continue reading
