“In 2009 I spent 6 months seeing multiple M.D.s to diagnose what appeared to be Lupus or symptoms resembling those of Fibromyalgia, but none of these doctors could diagnose what I had. One even told me, “I don’t know what you have but when it does turn into Lupus I have a great drug for you.” Each office visited simply ended with, “Come back in 6 months.” In addition to my myriad physical symptoms, the feeling of despair and having no one who could care for ALL of my issues was crushing. I would try different health... [Read more...]

“All my life I have had pain from skeletal and joint problems – with osteoporosis, scoliosis, a slipped disc, and fibromyalgia. I had great help from yoga, chiropractic, massage, and a rheumatologist, but still endured almost constant pain. Finally, I added acupuncture with Kristen Horner and was amazed at the relief I received from the painless sessions. I have been impressed with Kristen’s professional and empathic approach and by her knowledge and expertise. I have much less joint and muscle pain now and have been... [Read more...]

“I did a lot of research beforehand and I am so happy that I decided to call Kristen! I have had problems with fibromyalgia which was also causing my anxiety and depression, IBS and PMS with severe cramping. I have tried medications (all had uncomfortable side effects to say the least), chiropractors and was even contemplating surgery. Within a month I had complete relief from my PMS and my IBS. I have been going to see Kristen now for 3 ½ months, and my fibromyalgia pain is no longer bothering me. My anxiety and depression... [Read more...]

“I believe that acupuncture has helped me with my sciatica, back pain, mental stress, and ability to walk. I think it improved my problems better than medications or chiropractors have. Kristen’s herbal medicine has helped my bladder problems and chronic yeast infections.” Read More →

“Following a severe episode with my lower back and a diagnosis of the possible need for surgery, my neurosurgeon suggested that I try acupuncture with Kristen Horner. I had already had the standard treatment: 6 weeks of physical therapy as well as a shot in my lower back. These helped, but I was far from being on the road to recovery! I decided to try acupuncture in hopes of avoiding surgery. It worked! At my first visit, Kristen explained the purpose of acupuncture and the methods used. I found the procedure to not...

“In the spring of 2006 I had severe back problems, this had been going on for many years. I had been through four spine surgeries, physical therapy, chiropractors, neurologists, and neurosurgeons but with little relief. I was referred to Kristen by a friend and fortunately she started treating me with acupuncture. It has been a difficult problem but I have had more relief from acupuncture than anything I’ve tried. Kristen has been so supportive through many emotional problems as well; she is very knowledgeable about the... [Read more...]

“For the past eight years I have struggled with significant hormone imbalances that manifested themselves most visibly as facial acne. I tried visiting dermatologists, nutritionists, and our family doctor, and threw myself into various medicinal regimens. Prescription medicines, microdermabrasion, supplements, diets, special skin care products – none of these things produced lasting results. I began acupuncture treatments last spring and within three months I saw dramatic improvement in my skin. I stopped all of my other regimens... [Read more...]

“We have seen an AMAZING recovery of our daughter’s eczema! I mean her skin is very close to completely normal. The texture and everything has changed! So exciting! Last week, we were raving about the change. Then she drank some [pasteurized] dairy chocolate milk and the next day she was flared up again. We completely cut the dairy back out (she still has some cheese here and there in casseroles) and her skin has almost completely recovered again! I have not seen her scratching for several days! I just wanted... [Read more...]

“A year ago I injured my shoulder so that I could not raise my right arm at the shoulder without pain. I saw my internist who is our gatekeeper to specialist health and he referred me to an orthopedic specialist. The specialist examined me and pretty much diagnosed a condition where a tendon was either tearing or detaching from the bone. This was causing pain each time I lifted my arm above a certain height. He confirmed the diagnosis by MRI and we discussed options. He was honest and remarked that while most people opt eventually... [Read more...]

“I am a 44 year old female scoliosis patient, and am 25 years post Harrington rod/fusion surgery. Above and below the rod and fusion is a deformed/deteriorating mess. Pain has always been constant and has been managed with various medications and physical therapy. I really wanted to reduce the medications that I’ve been on for years. I read about acupuncture in Arthritis Today and a RN friend of mine highly recommended Kristen to me. Immediately after starting acupuncture I felt a reduction in pain. After a month...

“18 months ago I suffered an attack of sciatica which was severe enough that walking was excruciatingly painful, sitting was hard to do for long without pain and even lying in bed was painful. Chiropractic care which had helped me before after 15 treatments and I had been pain free for 5 years afterwards frighteningly seemed to make matters worse this time and I was afraid to try it again. Somewhat in despair I contacted Kristen Horner who got me in to see her quickly and carefully listened to my story and gently gave me my first... [Read more...]

“Kristen Horner provides a comfortable, non-judgmental, and relaxing atmosphere. This is my first experience with acupuncture. It is difficult to express in only a few sentences my profound gratitude to Dr. Horner. I got my first migraine when I was 19 and now I am 55 years of age. For the past 5 years migraines had been a part of my weekly existence, lasting 2-3 days each. Under the care of Dr. Horner I have not had any (not even one!) migraine headaches. And no hot flashes either! This has changed my life! No headaches... [Read more...]

“As a child my nervous system began its long trek toward becoming more sensitive and more painful. Then about ten years ago when I was in my 40s, the stress of it manifested into depression, severe fibromyalgia, and hypothyroidism. You can imagine all of the symptoms spiraling and becoming chaotic, since most of them have similar effects. I was prescribed one drug after another after another for decades until nothing worked. My world was in upheaval, and I didn’t know where to turn next. A very trusted friend recommended Kristen... [Read more...]

“Since 1997, I have had chronic pain in different areas of my body. I have finally found long-term benefits from a treatment with NO SIDE EFFECTS using acupuncture. I have used the following therapies for pain relief: massages, biofeedback, relaxation, pain injections, physical therapies, pain medications and exercise before starting acupuncture. I am also diabetic and I have had 12 major surgeries and 77 day surgeries. The locations of my pain were: headaches, pressure points, neck, ears, eyes, sleep, joints, feet top... [Read more...]
