Toshio Omura LAC

From the moment I met Toshio I knew there was something special, genuine, and virtuous about him. Pros: flexable schedule more

I began seeing Toshio Omura for acupuncture treatment in January 2010. I have had a severe case of ?tennis elbow? for several years now that went undiagnosed by my primary care physician for far too long. As a result, I went from having just the right side inflamed to both sides, simply from overcompensation. Prior to seeing Toshio, I had undergone cortisone shots, physical therapy, massage therapy, home exercises and remedies, and chiropractic care. The chiropractic care was the most effective for healing thus far, but I hit a plateau. The chiropractic doctors recommended that I pursue this option. The cortisone shots also worked for pain management, but they were certainly not helping to heal. From the very first treatment, I felt relief from the acupuncture treatment. Toshio has utilized a combination of traditional methods. Though I am not completely healed, the treatments have not only stopped the continual pain once the cortisone shots wear off, but have given me relief so that I can participate in normal everyday activities without such discomfort. If you have ever considered acupuncture, do not hesitate any further. I would highly recommend Toshio as an excellent practitioner! He is thorough, caring and thoughtful in his practice and his approach. He explains what he is doing, and continually checks in to ensure that his patient is comfortable and receiving the best possible benefit from the treatment. And the results speak for themselves! Pros: Professional, Knowledgeable, Flexible Hours more

I started seeing Toshio a few months before the San Fransico marathon when I started to experience ""IT Band Syndrome"" a painful runner's injury as well as other problems associated with training. I immediately felt comfortable with him and saw him frequently until the race. I experienced no pain during the marathon and achieved my best time ever; I don't think I could have without his help. I continue to see him regularly for ""maintenance"" and am very thankful that I found such a skilled, safe, and friendly acupuncturist. I can't say enough positive things about him and his services. If you have never tried acupuncture, or have and are looking for another provider, Toshio is a great choice. Pros: He will come to your home or you can see him at his office Cons: there are not any cons that come to mind! more
