What Our Clients Say
Dr. Adam Gries through acupuncture and coaching has taught me how to take charge of my health and care of self (physically and emotionally). I am so much more aware of what my body is trying to tell me.
Through diagnostic massage, Laura Gries provided me with a plan of care which includes core exercises and yoga which resolved my lower back pain.

Dr. Adam is the one of the most compassionate and intelligent people I’ve ever worked with. From the very first visit he has changed my life and perspective on so many things for the better. Acupuncture and wholistic medicine that he practices will help any one to be the best version of themselves. I can’t advocate for him highly enough. If you are skeptical like I was the first time give it a try and change your life. This man and his practice is the real deal. Me and my wife will be clients for life!
Austin Stratton
Customer
On the recommendation of my primary care provider, I came to see Dr. Gries for a torn hip labrum and pulled hamstring. I had never had acupuncture for pain before and was very skeptical. Dr. Gries spent a lot of time during my first visit to get to know me and help me feel at ease. I have had tremendous relief from my pain and feel mostly healed after less than five visits. I highly recommend Dr. Gries for acupuncture for those who are trying to heal from injury and pain.
